Will iOS or Android Apps ever run on Windows 10 PC?

[Windows Central Question]

The Windows 10 App ecosystem is not competitive with iOS or Android. Will Microsoft ever enable those apps to run on Windows 10?

No. Possible, but I would sooner expect LG to announce a Tizen phone. Developer tools are more likely, but not much news on that front.

This will never happen, sadly.

Through the use of emulator programs YES Android and iOS apps CAN work on Windows PCs BUT probably not Windows Phones. And the experience can be less than ideal based on what hardware you are running.

Sorry to say but, the answer is most likely no. Unless Microsoft buy apple or google & decide to do a deep integration between platforms. I don't believe this is possible at all due to platform architecture differences.

You can run Android OS apps on Windows using emulators such as BlueStacks. For iOS though, no chance.
