I have since released the project on GitHub for others to download and play with it. I will be unable to contribute to it for the next two years, but I want others to make something useful out of it if they want to. You can download it here: https://github.com/Ticomware/AstoriaUWP

I'm running build 10586

The proof of concept presented does not rely on Microsoft's Astoria code. It is through-and-through a UWP app. I just haven't provided instructions for sideloading it on mobile but I believe you can sideload it through device portal. The dependencies and ARM appxbundle should be in the archive...

The project is written in C# for .NET Core (since it is from the ground-up a UWP app.) It runs on Windows 10 phones and PCs. As the project's complexity grows, some C++ code will at some point be included. The standard Android libraries uses both Java and C++ code with JNI, so porting the...

Excuse the plug, but I put together a proof of concept that takes an Android app, deconstructs it and interprets its instructions and resources. It's far too simple to run any real apps at the moment, but with enough interest, time, and development it could. Currently it can run some "hello...

There is a great tool for Visual Studio to create Java projects called Integra Studio. I used it to create Java projects in school. It's in beta right now but I think it will be commercial in the future. You can find info about it here: IntegraStudio - Java development environment for Visual...

Astoria takes an Android .apk, disassembles it and interprets the resources and instructions. It's too simple right now to run commercial apk's, but it could in the future.

Yes, you read the title correctly ;) NOTE: This is only a proof of concept, and can pretty much only run the default program made from a new project in Android Studio with or without some basic modifications for now. I have developed this program on my free time over the past few months. This...

I am currently learning Xamarin. WPF is very easy to learn if you're coming from UWP/WinRT/Silverlight. ASP.NET is a different beast, but worth learning. Xamarin Forms is very similar to UWP/WinRT/Silverlight programming and works well across all platforms but is a little buggy (however there's...

How did you get it to work? My mom's Lumia 950 is having trouble connecting to the Xbox One.

I've heard some people having issues with Edge but it works perfectly for me, much smoother than FF or Chrome. Especially on low end computers.

If you are developing a Windows 10 universal app in C#, you can change title bar settings by using this code in your code-behind file (xxx.cs): var titlebar = ApplictionView.GetForCurrentView().Titlebar; titlebar.BackgroundColor = Colors.Black //Sets title bar background to black...

Greetings Windows Central community, I have developed a simple app for Windows Phone in hopes of raising money for my next project (A productivity app for UWP.) It is a simple digital clock, engineered to use as little power as possible and emulates a seven-segment display for each digit. The...

What is your app? The some of the syntax will be different but it should be somewhat similar to your Silverlight code. You will need Visual Studio 2015 and Windows 10

There is and always has been a way to toggle the virtual buttons: swipe up from the bottom bezel.
