The same apps for Windows and Android? Project Rome is the tool that can make it possible

Microsoft wants to continue fighting tooth and nail to revive its mobile ecosystem. Windows 10 Mobile is in a very delicate situation and for now the future is darker than bright. That may be the reason why from Redmond are promoting the use of their own services, which they extend to other platforms knowing the potential they hold.

And in this sense they have a bet that under the name of Project Rome wants to bring closer the possibility of that an application, a development, can reach different platforms Between eyebrows could be Android with its huge catalog of terminals and its millions of users.

Thanks to the use of Project Rome, the system acts independently adjusting, at the time of compiling each application,the code to the operating system to which it will be destined A tool that allows something like communication between different platforms. It's like starting an activity in one and expanding it to another, something that until now was possible within the Windows environment.

A functional application on Windows and Android?

It's what makes Project Rome possible, which allows developers to create cross-platform apps and we're not only talking about mobile phones but also In this list of options we also find compatibility with computers under Windows and Microsoft consoles.

The same application in the Google Play Store (Apple's app Store is another story) y in the Windows App Store could be used to attract developers to the Microsoft platform and try to give it some life.

We already saw some time ago how Microsoft got hold of Xamarin and Project Rome is one of the first high consequences of said purchase Of this In this way we will be closer to seeing universal applications that can be used by both Android and Windows. A master move by Microsoft in case it finally comes to fruition.

And by the way and if you are interested in learning more about the subject, in Github you have information on how to create an application with these options. Do you think that with this possibility and thanks to Project Rome Windows 10 Mobile may have a better chance of surviving?
