MechDome: Android applications can run natively on Windows

Do Son February 6, 2018 1 minute read

MechDome, a third-party company, has introduced a technology that will convert Android applications to iOS. Now that it’s on Twitter’s official account, the company is now ready to release support for Windows UWP applications, which means it technically allows any Android application to run on Windows 10 and Windows 10 mobile devices.

Asked if the converted Android application will also run on Windows 10 Mobile, the company said the goal is to generate UWP applications and should run on all Windows platforms. This technology is currently under development and MechDome periodically sends updates to tell the world about what’s going on.

Microsoft itself plans to add Android application support for Windows 10 Mobile, but the company dropped the idea, though some earlier preview versions actually provided such functionality. Microsoft did not explain the reasons for removing support for Android applications, but in the meantime, the company completely abandoned Windows 10 Mobile and no longer planned to make any updates to the platform.
