Creating UWP applications
In a cross-platform and .NET Core context, UWP relies on the .NET Framework itself. However, the .NET Framework does implement .NET Standard and, as a result, the portable modules of cross-platform applications can be consumed by UWP applications. In other words, similar to the Xamarin implementation, shared (possibly platform-agnostic) application code can be extracted from UWP applications to leave only the native UI implementation as a UWP-specific module. In turn, UWP projects can be included as part of any mobile development endeavor involving .NET Standard and/or Xamarin.
When implementing the native UI, developers have two inherently similar options, depending on the existing project architecture in a Xamarin project:
- You can create the UWP UI using the native XAML approach (that is, create the user interface within the platform-specific project and share only the business logic).
- You can create a UWP target using Xamarin.Forms and...
