The number of software has always been the biggest problem limiting the Windows 10 Mobile platform, so Microsoft launched the plan of transplanting Android and iOS applications to Astoria and Islandwood on the Windows 10 Mobile platform respectively in 2015.

Previously, the former seems to have made faster progress. By the middle of 2015, Android applications could be ported to the development version of Windows 10 Mobile to run. However, according to the latest news, this plan has been put on hold due to problems that cannot be solved.

However, the plan of transplanting iOS seems to be relatively smooth. The foreign media FraWin has found a set of compatibility detection tools developed by Microsoft, which can let iOS developers check the compatibility of their applications running on Windows 10 Mobile.

Previously, several systems, including BlackBerry, had tools for transplanting Android applications, but the migration process was troublesome, and the migrated applications had problems with operating efficiency, so they still stayed in the circle of developers and geeks.
