As we saw previously, UWP using the .NET Framework utilizes .NET Standard. .NET Standard is used as the common BCL (base class library), while the Core Common Language Runtime (Core CLR) is responsible for executing the modules that are implemented by .NET Standard. Besides .NET Core and .NET Standard, another .NET concept is invaluable for Universal Windows Applications: .NET Native.
.NET Native provides a set of tools that are responsible for generating native code from .NET applications for UWP, bypassing the intermediate language. Using the .NET Native toolchain, .NET Standard class libraries, as well as the common language runtime infrastructure modules such as garbage collection, are linked to smaller, dynamic link libraries (similar to the Xamarin build process for iOS and Android).
In order to enable the native compilation, you need...
