When can we expect developers to use Project Astoria in order to port apps over to Win 10 mobile? Don't they have access now?
Amateurs ported many apps and got them working on Windows 10 preview. I therefore think it's weird that we haven't seen anything.
Being able to port does not mean that there it's automatically lucrative I think many will wait to see the results of the few that are already working with MS. Keep in mind that not everybody will need the same apps. On top of that I would rather have those developers release universal apps, instead of porting Bigger audience for them and better experience for us
from what I afraid is that the conversion is for old versions of android and ios.
MS is working closely with some developers, but not all of them. The Astoria tools were leaked previously, but those weren't fully updated. We might start seeing android apps a bit after w10m goes official so hold tight until next month
Most android devs wont bother porting their apps. They know soon wm will support apk directly, no porting needed.
I suppose Microsoft is going to launch W10M, threshold 2 and the new hardware with many relevant universal apps and iOS/Android ports, to show the world the capabilities of the platform.
