Project Astoria is Officialy Cancelled


         Microsoft today announced that it has stopped working on Windows Bridge for Android, a tool for turning Android apps into universal Windows apps that can run on all types of Windows devices.


Microsoft announced Project Astoria alongside "Project Islandwood", which offered iOS app developers a way to port their creations to Windows 10 Mobile. Today, Microsoft stated:
"We received a lot of feedback that having two Bridge technologies to bring code from mobile operating systems to Windows was unnecessary, and the choice between them could be confusing. We have carefully considered this feedback and decided that we would focus our efforts on the Windows Bridge for iOS and make it the single Bridge option for bringing mobile code to all Windows 10 devices, including Xbox and PCs. For those developers who spent time investigating the Android Bridge, we strongly encourage you to take a look at the iOS Bridge and Xamarin as great solutions."
After this news many people are confused that is it a right step by Microsoft But As Microsoft stated in their blog post, the other three bridges - Islandwood, Westminster, and Centennial - are still alive and well. Microsoft also noted that while their original focus for Islandwood was on APIs for game developers, they will now be focusing on APIs for all applications.
