Cordova for Windows 10 documentation: https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/dev/guide/platforms/win8/win10-support.html https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/win8/index.html

But with regards to app assets the latest Cordova documentation only appears to cover Windows 8 & WP8: https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/config_ref/images.html

Windows 10 platform may need to added as follows: cordova platform remove windows cordova platform add "windows@https://aka.ms/cordova-win10"

Build for UWP: cordova build windows -- --appx=uap

Notes while setting up on W10 :

JXcore setup is being removed by Windows Defender
I setup node-gyp to use VS 2015 instead of 2013 as listed on the readme.

".jx\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\gyp\pylib\MSVSVersion.py", line 402, in SelectVisualStudioVersion
versions = _DetectVisualStudioVersions(version_map[version], 'e' in version)
KeyError: '2015'

jx npm node-gyp -v => 1.4.14, while npm version is 3.5.2. This will be updated in jx 0.3.1.1. So VS2013 tools are still required for current jx 0.3.1.0 version.

Also got '(node) warning':

possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 listeners added. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase the limit.
