That's a great one, thanks! Supporting this is made more interesting by the fact that the Cordova host app for Windows is a WWA rather than a XAML app hosting a WebView, but this is definitely something I want to support.

IMO this could also make ace a Mayor Player in Cross Platform dev. I dont know any other tools that provide such a feature (xamarin set aside)

[felquis]

This will be great!

I worked with Ionic a few months ago, and I gave up of Cordova/Ionic because of the ecosystem, the difficult access to native features and cordova plugins that doesn't work well, but looking these example, this tool is such a piece of candy. Hope it get better and better, as a utility tool.

Did you guys forget about Windows 10?

[adnathan]

Not at all. :) I would love to have a Windows implementation, but I haven't gotten to it yet.

[PaulOst]

Thanks for the reply, Adam!

Adam, when adding support for Windows I think you only need to target UWP apps. Doing so will let us target this new product with our Enterprise apps: http://mspoweruser.com/panasonics-toughpad-fz-f1-windows-10-tablet-announced-at-mwc/

I think most consumers will have WP8 for some time. WP10 is not penetrating fast at all, though some of our customers do ask about the possibility of support for it in future

Most consumers will have WP8 for some time? WP8 is at 1.5% share and falling while Windows 10 is on the rise. Adam, please release support for UWP first before supporting older variations of Windows.

[tomchiverton]

We may be at cross purposes, but as Windows only has 2.8% of the market
http://www.winbeta.org/news/windows-phones-fall-2-8-u-s-market-share-according-comscore
then 1.5% on WP8 is a large fraction. WP10 is not exactly selling like hot cakes, and few people see the need to upgrade from WP8 to it.

If we are talking desktop, then yes, I think only Win7 and later are relevant. A lot of enterprises are no where near upgrading their Win7 fleets.

Agreed, Tom. My feedback is that project Ace first supports W10 UWP. I think that's the future of Windows not the dying W8.x, WP8 platforms. The apps my company would build using project ACE wouldn't be the kind that would target [or be beneficial on] the Windows 7 desktop.

[aloisdg]

Universal Apps would be great!

[adnathan]

I do plan on looking at UWP first. But I should reiterate that I'm happy for others to contribute as well! :)

[aloisdg]

@adnathan I have my own commitments (ok I am proud of this one). One day, why not? :)

[Li-Yanzhi]

@adnathan just know this project from MSDN Channel9, Great idea & project, with Cordova + ACE, it seems that everything is possible!

I was just writing a similar app and looking for a native tab-bars for android, ios and windows phone 10. Unfortunately none of them has support for wp10. Even Microsoft ace :(. Please add support for wp10.

Another good feature would be rendering it html5 as well. Use case: One code runs on android, wp10, ios and web.

I see that compiler part is closed code. How can I contribute? I would love to be part of it #

[tomchiverton]

Ionic 2 (via Cordova / PhoneGap for mobile) does that. Currently beta though.

@tomchiverton Yeah, but that's HTML not native UI.

[professoroakz]

RIP WP :/

[ztl8702]

@OktayGardener WP is dying, but not Win10 Mobile and UWP.

[hemrika]

ace.platform == "Windows"

Would be awesome !! Even just invoke custom code...

[adamiprinciples]

+1 for this. Even just basic support would be great. I don't mind writing controls myself, just some POC's for windows would be good enough.

[kkirby]

Yeah, this would make my day ... even my year.
