Microsoft has its software development kit released for Windows Phone 8.1. From the sdk we can conclude that in version 8.1 support for ‘universal apps’ will; therefore, developers should apps simultaneously suitable for Windows on mobile and desktop.
The discovered innovations in the Windows Phone 8.1 sdk by The Verge wrote. It turns out that Microsoft in the new sdk offers support for developing in the .appx container, which is also for the Modern UI apps for the desktop version of Windows is used. That suggests that developers with the new sdk software are able to develop both the mobile and desktop version of the OS; Microsoft alluded earlier in this support. However, it is not yet clear to what extent mobile and desktop are integrated, as Microsoft here, no statements about has done.
Also notes The Verge that Windows Phone 8.1 will allow other “default” apps to choose from. So it is possible to the application that allows text messages to be received to fit in to a third-party app. Microsoft also has the battery indicator and the multitaskingmenu improved. Users get in Windows Phone 8.1 by default, the ability to log into Apples iCloud and the mobile version of Internet Explorer 11 is included, which includes the viewing of YouTube videos has improved. Windows Phone 8.1 also has support for vpn and the interface for the camera is refreshed.
It is striking that Microsoft’s integration with Facebook in Windows Phone 8.1 seems to have removed: support for the social-networking site is not present in the sdk, while Twitter integration is still there. Also the earlier rumors surfaced Action Center for notifications is not present in the sdk, like support for Bing functionality. That indicates that Microsoft has a number of cases to withhold it, probably until the new version of the OS is officially launched.
It is expected that a ontwikkelaarsversie of Windows Phone 8.1 will be presented during the Build session that Microsoft in april organizes. With the release of the sdk, developers can already get their apps compatible with the new version of the mobile OS.
