PureBasic Forums - English

I have a general question about developing window 10. I don't know maybe this question already asked but none exist when I search.

1. Should we become a member to develop Window 10 app? Member at https://developer.microsoft.com

2. Can we develop using Purebasic?

3. Is it the same app can be tweaked to make it run in Window 10 phone?

4. When I create an exe and make it available on the net, the user download and run and got the warning message: "Windows Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk." This makes them run away.

You mean UWP apps? No, but perhaps with my future library, which I will develop some day.

If your Windows phone can x86/x64 (no Windows RT), then yes.

The only way to solve this problem is to obtain a paid software certificate. Or write on your own page that the user must confirm the message.

You should be able to bundle a PB app in an UWP package and put it on the store, there is a tool for that:

Windows 10 UWP apps can be "natively" built with JavaScript.

With SpiderBasic You can compile JavaScript; so, should be possible?

And, the same code base, probably with very less changes, can be used for native and UWP target.
