Migrating a UWP app
The Windows App SDK and WinUI can be considered the direct successors of UWP. In fact, its goal is to detach many of the UWP APIs and features from the operating system so that they can be consumed also by Win32 applications.
Consequently, among the technologies we have seen in this chapter, UWP is, for sure, the easiest one to start a migration from.
