Same IE codebase as Windows
Same JavaScript engine as Windows
Converged Core OS
Common NT kernel, file system and core networking
Kernel mode driver f/work
Secure boot & BitLocker
Developer Platform
Partial API convergence (focus on sensors & IAP)
Native Code (C++) and DirectX
IE10
Converged Dev Platform
More skillset reuse
More code reuse
More seamless app experiences
Aligning the Stores
Shared dev registration
Shared entitlement
Common Core Platform
Proximity & Location frameworks
Security & identity

7. API convergence across the Windows platform
6/16/2018
API convergence across the Windows platform
The Windows Runtime (WinRT) is the shared runtime and API space used by store apps across the Windows platform (phone and client)
Windows-specific WinRT APIs
Common WinRT APIs
Phone-specific WinRT APIs
Dramatic convergence in 8.1
Goal is 100% convergence for dev scenarios
In 8.0, we had ~30% API convergence
With 8.1, we move well past 90%+ convergence

10. Building a Universal Windows Phone & Windows App
demo

11. App Model Convergence

12. Key Investments Developer improvements Experience improvements
Enhance low end devices
Enhanced Multitasking
Packaging and deployment
Back-up and roaming
Application data sharing
Experience improvements
Action center
Shared push notifications
Resource packages for smaller downloads
Roaming app data to bridge devices

13. Scale across the ecosystem
Windows Phone 8 enabled:
Run well on 512Mb devices
Run great on >512Mb
Guaranteed User Experience
Windows Phone 8.1 goes further to make the experience more fluid

14. Working well on 512Mb
In Windows Phone 8 apps got a predefined memory cap
150 Mb on 512Mb devices
300 Mb on 1gig.
450 Mb on 2gig
Worked well but could be overly conservative
94% of apps ≤ 150MB, 96% o ≤ 100MB, 80% ≤ 80MB, 70% ≤ 60MB
Result:
apps were tombstoned that didn’t need to be on low end devices
User experience suffered since app always restarted

15. Dynamic Memory Estimation
System monitors how much memory your app is using over time
Adjusts memory cap for app based on this data
Result
More apps stay in memory
512 Mb – some apps resume
>1Gig – nearly all apps resume

16. Enhanced Multitasking

17. Goals Maintain app compatibility One platform with Windows
Scale across the phone ecosystem

18. Improving the app experience
Apps always resume
8.1 Apps don’t close on back
Easy and delightful App Switcher

19. Trigger based execution
Apps subscribe to triggers they are interested in Only run *when* trigger is fired
Example: Push notification Geofencing BLE device Schedule Sensors

20. Push to wake a task Create a push channel as you do today
Create a trigger with channel in the constructor
Whenever a push notification comes in your apps task runs
Why should you care?
Process the push notification *before* showing the toast
Your app can run without ever showing a toast
Update your tile
Update the action center

21. Geofencing APIs to enable geofencing Geofencing experience
6/16/2018
Geofencing
APIs to enable geofencing
Location triggers
Up to 1000 geofences
Geofencing experience
App registers for a number of geo-coordinate anchors with a radius around that point
When a user enters that geofence, the app is triggered and app execution can happen

22. Demos: Geofencing Bluetooth LE

23. Engaging with your users

24. One Microsoft Push Service
Windows Notification Service (WNS)
Works with Windows and Windows Phone
Existing Phone push notifications now run over WNS with no change
Single client on device that works with WNS & MPNS
Result: All push notifications (old & new) work better and more battery efficient

25. Toast notifications Common data format Device specific visualization
6/16/2018
Toast notifications
Common data format

26. Action Center
Provides fresh and relevant information while preserving the ability to glance + go
Users can dismiss notification groups or all
Notifications can be added via toast or silently
Apps can also update or remove notifications

27. Common Live Tiles Same template mechanism for Windows & Phone
More flexibility to get users more engaged

28. App packaging + deployment
AppX Package
Same format for Windows & Phone (APPX)
Split out resources into separate packages
Data efficient download
Manifest(s)
WVGA
English
French
720p
Italian
German

29. Install apps on to SD User can decide to install or move an app to SD
App is encrypted on the SD card for protection and isolation
Apps are enabled for SD by default
Opt out with a flag in the manifest

30. App backup & roaming App Data roaming with Windows apps
Start Screen Backup
Tile metadata and layout is backed up to OneDrive daily
App Data Backup
App decides what data gets backed up to OneDrive
Windows Device (PFN = 123)
Roaming
Local
Temp
100kb
Roaming
Device A
Device B
100kb
Windows Phone (PFN = 123)
Roaming

31. Enterprise deployment
No need to download from the store
Sign the app with your enterprise token
$299 a year to enroll
Distribute the app via whatever makes sense for you:
Device Management Servers (MSFT or 3rd party)
Your website
SD Card

32. Application data sharing
6/16/2018
Application data sharing
Enables user-driven data sharing between apps
Same programming model as Windows
User experience scales to device
Apps can freely share content, with no limitations on content type
Optimized to ensure works on low end devices
