No, Android and iOS apps on Windows is not a good idea as … – Gizmodo in Spanish

 No, Android and iOS apps on Windows is not a good idea as it seems

There is a long way from a perfect idea and a good idea. Among the exact nut which engages the machine and get it to work simply. That run Windows 10 allow (almost) direct applications Android and iOS is a great, great news. But it is not as good as parece.http: //es.gizmodo.com/ios-versus-and …

Nor is a movement obviously random . The lack of Windows applications, both desktop with Windows Store as especially Windows Phone, is blatant. Shop with future Windows 10 and unification of the applications the aim is that any developer who has an application on iOS or Android can, with some minor adjustments through, place your application in the Windows Store uncomplicated.

That’s the theory. Practice, always so cruel, is somewhat less romantic. Assume that a simple “jump” from one system to another will solve all problems is something like a boxer with tutu. It is a boxer. With tutu. Ballet dancing. You can enjoy Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky in all its glory with boxers in tutu on stage if you like, because it is the same work at the end of the day, but something is obviously not fit. It’s not the same

 No, Android and iOS apps in Windows not It is such a good idea as it seems

There is a clear and obvious example: the official client for Twitter and iOS and Android. IOS is relatively decent, without being brilliant. Android is a fudge inconsistent with constant complaints about usability, without being either a disaster. On Twitter they are aware of it.

Even a company like this, with all the time and dedicated to the two major operating systems has managed to do something like “make the leap” out of a system efforts other. There are unique issues and specific to each SO, legacy above all, to be taken into account.

The other sensitive issue is the interface. Assume that the Material Design Lollipop Android 5.0 will fit with the Modern UI Windows Phone is naive to say the least. 8. Same with iOS iOS also has, among other things, a back button as Windows Phone or Adnroid, and its interface is designed as a result.

And the last but not the final, are the updates. It is the least important, but when a developer updating an iOS and Android app should also, by retouching code, turn to port it to Windows. It is a process that can eventually leave, without more, to compensate. Especially in this state of “constant beta” on which many applications are deployed today.

It is now easier than ever to port applications to Android iOS and Windows Phone is good. Great news. And to all users of Windows Phone should be interested. A necessary boost in an operating system that, by its quality, deserves that and more. But it is not the perfect solution. The golden nut. Not yet.

PS. The boxers with Tutu’s an interesting idea
