How can a developer port an application to WIndows Phone?

Question

Mobile development

I welcome everyone! There is an HTML5 application that works on Android and iOS devices. Each platform provides its own internal API (like getting a geolocation, uploading photos from the gallery via HTTP POST, drawing markers and polylines on Google Maps, and accessing the phone book), and all the logic and display are spinning in JS. There is a need to extend the application to the Windows platform. Actually, the question here is simple: will it be possible to "tailor" through some porters / emulators, simply porting / running the Android or iOS version on a Windows system, or is this a dead end, and the only thing to do is just write all the platform code for Windows from scratch? Ask for advice from the experienced.

Answer 1

Are you talking about cordova or a similar platform? All platform-specific code is in plugins. If the plug-ins used support WinPhone, then you just need to rebuild the application. No, you will have to add it yourself or look for another plugin.
And on the case, I would question the need for a WinPhone application. 1-2% of users are usually not worth the cost.
