Windows is open to Apple and Android         Microsoft is eager to sell its mobile devices.         Microsoft is releasing software tools to make it easier for popular Apple and Android apps to run on Windows Mobile device vendors.         It is said that the Apple app developer can run code on a Windows 10 mobile device simply by changing the "little bit".         and, many Android apps can run intact.         Experts say this behavior is an "imperfect solution" to Microsoft's problems, with the hope of convincing people to use Microsoft Mobile (device). Popular comments         for iOS, Microsoft has launched the project "Small Island Forest" initiative (the author's own translation). It is dedicated to the creation of software interpreters (software interpreters are used with the typical development tools chosen by Apple developers).         Microsoft spoke at the Seattle developer conference, by conveying the tape to this interpreter and changing some parts, which makes it possible to transfer or migrate iOS apps to Windows 10.         Using these tools, developers working for game maker King have been able to port a popular candy Crush saga to Windows.         Another initiative, project "Astoria", which aims to point to Android, and contains Android's built-in but Windows self-contained code and gives it the desired response.         Microsoft claims that this means that many Android apps can run intact in Windows Mobile device vendors.         However, the way Android is built means that it has to be changed for some apps.         This strategy is seen as a way for Microsoft to boost popularity and persuade developers to incorporate Windows 10 into their plans.         Although there are already many apps available on the Windows store, some popular apps, such as Pinterest(fun) and Plants vs. Zombies are not.         Microsoft has also added tools that enable Android apps to connect to parts of Windows, such as its Cortana personal assistant, otherwise they won't be able to use it.         CCS Insight expert Geoff Blaber said: "The decision to meet Android and iOS apps is an imperfect solution for a hassle that doesn't bother you."         "Nonetheless, this is a really necessary move to attract developers rather than Apple and Google."
