Microsoft is making a big move to get existing Android and iOS developers making Windows apps. Existing code can be reused to easily build software for Microsoft-powered devices.
Speaking at the company’s Build conference, Microsoft operating systems chief Terry Myerson announced that Windows Phones will include an Android subsystem that lets developers reuse all of the Java and C++ code from an Android phone app to create apps for phones running Windows 10.
In addition, Myerson announced that developers will be able to compile Objective C code from Apple iOS apps inside Visual Studio on Windows, allowing them to leverage that code to create Windows apps.
