Windows support (UWP)

[valentinstoychev]

This is a work in progress at the moment, but having your feedback and comments can increase its priority. We are planning Windows10+ support at the moment.

At a high level the tasks are as:

1.7

• [x] Release a PREVIEW version of the runtime for Windows Universal - https://github.com/NativeScript/windows-runtime

Not planned

• [ ] Implement the cross-platform layer on top of the runtimes to support the Windows UI.
• [ ] Implement support in CLI

If you are interested in this feature please add comments below with specific requirements and vote for this feature in our ideas portal.

Not sure if Win10 will support Silverlight dev for mobile, but I'd say focus only on the universal APIs.

[Klors]

This would be very useful as it would allow us to attempt to use NativeScript (with our existing web development knowledge) as our corporate cross platform mobile development solution.

For the consumer market, Android and iOS support is all you really need. But, I work in the corporate market so Windows support is a must. BTW, support for Mac desktop apps in addition to Windows Universal would round this out into the only platform I would need.

+1 and (I suspect off topic) support to compile/translate into a true web project.. that would rock.

[sandorfr]

I think this should be a top priority. There are already plenty of xplat frameworks without decent windows support. This would make a huge difference.

With Windows 10 and its new Universal App Platform already running on over 110 million desktops worldwide, I'd say this is a must. Coming holiday season a lot of laptops, 2-in-1's, etc will be sold, and most of them will be running Windows 10. No matter how you look at it, Android dominates mobile (with iOS taking a sizable chunk as well), but Windows dominates the desktop. And I'd love to bring the apps I'm developing to these people sitting behind a computer every day.

I think the Microsoft people have been pretty helpful with Phonegap, and getting every type of developer being able to develop apps for their platform. They're even working on support for Java, Objective C for native apps. So maybe the Telerik people should get in touch with them. I think they'd be happy to help. Just a thought..

[mtringuyen]

nativescript should be available for windows mobile asap :)

Looking for windows/ios app that supports pen devices and NativeScript is looking very promising (with this feature).

[TryingToImprove]

Is anyone working on this?

[valentinstoychev]

@TryingToImprove We (the core team) have an internal POC app working on Windows, but for the moment Windows is not the focus of our priorities, so the release of Windows 10 is not scheduled.

Right now the team is focused on polishing the existing iOS and Android support and after that we will focus our energy on the Windows 10 support.

If you have a project that is dependent on Windows 10 please reach out to me and we will discuss in detail (valentin.stoychev@telerik.com). The team here have a solid Windows Universal knowledge and we are eager to work on supporting it, but first we should make sure the current bits are top notch and then move to Windows. If there are developers that would like to help us in the Windows 10 support please reach out to me as well.

[pjc2007]

Certainly interested in W10 support. More likely for tablets than the phones.

[amjd]

Is there any ETA on when Windows support is going to be added?

[corbinu]

I am curious has anybody looked into using: https://github.com/Microsoft/WinObjC/ I know it is not feature complete yet, but seems like once it is that it might be a good shortcut.

The one feature that definitely needs to be supported though are tile notifications. I use them fairly recently, to inform the users of all sorts of news, updates and general progress.

+1 Thanks for putting it back on the roadmap. We need this for a client who uses Windows Phones internally. Our app requires basic UI and the push notification plugin.
