Microsoft declares that they received lots of feedback about two projects, Project Astoria and Project Islandwood, and it is very difficult to make a choice. Finally, the company decides to devote more to Project Islandwood, and to stop developing Project Astoria. Project Islandwood would help developers port iOS apps to Windows 10 Mobile, including Xbox and desktop. 


Also, Microsoft suggests that developers port Android apps to Windows 10 Mobile by Project Islandwood or Xamarin, which is the best solution. For more about Xamarin, you may click here to know more.
