cooperlegend Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Dec 2, 2015 #1 So as a big lover of B4A and B4i I have to ask the question... Any plans to do B4WP in the near future to out do Xamarin ? B4X is so much easier than using Microsoft's tools. I would be great to have the complete set Android, iOS and Window Phone.

cooperlegend Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Dec 3, 2015 #5 According to each article, the iOS version is available but the Android APK version is on hold. Erel, do you know if the B4i version I have coded could be converted using this MS Bridge? Can the Android version still be converted using the java code (rather than the running the APK method) ?

Click to expand... Haven't tried it. B4i creates regular iOS apps so theoretically it should work (similar to what I wrote above, my personal guess is that it will not be very useful). cooperlegend said: Can the Android version still be converted using the java code (rather than the running the APK method) ? Click to expand... No. Your code depends on Android specific APIs. I'm also not sure that Java is supported at all. It is most probably not supported. For now Windows Phone is not very relevant: http://www.idc.com/prodserv/smartphone-os-market-share.jsp It might gain more traction with the release of Windows Mobile 10.

wonder Expert Licensed User Longtime User Dec 3, 2015 #7 I don't get it, Chrome's Arc Welder runs my apps perfectly fine at 60fps on both Win7 32-bit, and Win10 64bit architectures. If Google can do it, why is it so hard for Microsoft? Just add an Android built-in emulator to the Windows OS family.

R Roycefer Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Dec 3, 2015 #8 The Arc Welder team can probably walk down the hall and talk to the Android team. I doubt the Android team would even answer MS's calls, if MS ever called them. If I know MS, they're probably trying to make their Android Bridge run inside the .NET runtime. That's a runtime within a runtime. Inception.
