Windows Phone 8.1 Development Technology Overview (Universal APP)

A while ago really lazy WP8.1 has come out so long now just update blog Let everyone wait, today I first introduce the development framework of WP 8.1, what is respected by Microsoft Universal APP, and we want to develop universal What to look for when it comes to apps.

If you are a friend just contact WP development can first look at my previous article to understand the story background: Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 Development Technology Overview

Let's start by perfecting a concept-that's the difference between Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0

1. The WP8.0 development architecture is based on the Silverlight runtime runtime

2. The development architecture of WP 8.1 has two Silverlight Runtime/windwos Xmal (equivalent to Windows 8.1) runtime

In the future, the Universal APP is based on the inclusion of the Windows XAML runtime, and I'll cover the details of WP8.1 's new feature, which will be based on the contents of the Windows Xmal framework.

The above picture is our latest Windows & Windows Phone 8.1 Development Platform Architecture diagram Here we can see very clearly, the blue part is universal including WINJS, C #, VB, C + + only Silverligh T is unique to Windows Phone, so if we want to develop a universal APP that can be extended to WP 8.1 based on a Windows 8.0/8.1 development architecture, this process is very convenient.

Besides, I've also introduced how to share code in WP8.0, we can share more code in 8.1 Universal app and it's very convenient, this common content promotion is a quite big leap (from 8.0 share 27% to 8.1 share 77%) so I In the development process can be very aspects of the share code, and in the VS2013 can use universal application template for code sharing.
