Soon, you'll be able to turn your Apple iOS apps into Universal Windows ones, according to an early version of Microsoft's new tool which allows software developers to quickly port apps.
The PC maker is hoping to lure developers to Windows Bridge to boost the number of apps available for Windows devices.
The most recent statistics show that Google Play has 1.6 million apps, followed by 1.5 million on the Apple App Store and 400,000 in the Amazon Appstore. The Windows Phone Store lags behind at 340,000 apps.
Windows Bridge lets users convert iOS apps built for x86 and x64 processor architectures to a compatible format for Windows 10 and Windows 8.1.
The tool remains a "work in progress" for the moment to seek feedback, but a final version is expected in the autumn.
"We'd love for the interested and curious to look at the bridge, and compare what we're building with your app's requirements," Microsoft said in a blog post.
"And, for the really ambitious, we invite you to help us by contributing to the project, as community contributors - with source code, tests, bug reports, or comments. We welcome any and all participation in building this bridge."
