when can we expect a Windows instance of Nidium? I use a Windows machine for dev. I see only Linux and OSX are supported currently.
Also, how are you bridging native APIs? Cordova?
Nidium co-author here. The windows version is actually on his way (https://github.com/nidium/Nidium/tree/windows-x86). There is still some work to be done before a public release, but the first results are here :)
Regarding native APIs calls, we are not using cordova or anything similar. If needed, you can build you own native module (C++ for desktop computers, or Java/ObjectiveC for Android/iOS).
If you have more questions regarding nidium, check-out our new website or reach us on IRC or Discord

We recently completed app development for IOS and Android version using React Native.
Now, our client is asking for Windows version also.
Can anyone can answer following question, would really appreciate that:
Do we require Windows machine to develop and test RN windows app version or Mac also can support?
How to write a bridge to communicate with native environment (like to read/write files in the file system, etc...)
Any articles, learning materials would be really helpful.
I was trying to convert my awesome WPF app to UWP using the Desktop App Converter.
I converted the app using DesktopAppConverter successfully, installed on my local Windows 10 machine and works like a charm. All good so far.
However when I tried the Windows App Certification process, it fails with the below error.
API _amsg_exit in msvcr100.dll is not supported for this application type.
API _cexit in msvcr100.dll is not supported for this application type.
API _commode in msvcr100.dll is not supported for this application type.
I actually use many essential functionalities via a CPP library which was created using some python code (which I don't have source code for).
(I guess "msvcr100.dll" is Microsoft C++ Re-distributable Package? )
Can any one help resolve this issue?
The WACK tool in the Windows 10 AU SDK is not applicable to Desktop Bridge app. You don't need to run it prior to submission. The error you are seeing here you can ignore.
Upcoming new versions of the SDK will have an updated WACK tool with specific support for Desktop Bridge apps.
Thanks!
I am working on a windows 10 app, and I have to store data locally, but I am new to Entity Framework, So kindly suggest me which database technique should i use for storing data locally?
Also please someone let me know if Relam supports windows 10 apps for UWP?
Thanks in advance.
Update: Realm released UWP support.
Check the announcement here: https://news.realm.io/news/realm-mobile-database-for-universal-windows-platform/
Old answer:
There an Issue, realm/realm-core#2059, discussing this topic. So far it's not solved, it seems you're not the first one asking Realm to support UWP. Xamarin is supported, though.
So there's no support right now for the Universal Windows Platform on Realm. Encryption, multi-process support and ARM support seem to be the biggest issues stopping this platform to be supported.
I'm the author of MarcelloDB, which is an object database built to be used / embedded in apps.
It supports UWP and Xamarin(iOs and Android), most of the code is written in a portable class library, so you can port your code across the different platforms easily as well.
It allows you to store plain C# objects (incuding child properties, lists and collections)
So I have an existing windows desktop application which is written using WPF. I searched through the net for possible ways of upgrading it to Windows 10 universal app but cant seem to find anything on this upgrade path. There are documentation available to port WPF desktop app to WinRT (which according to my understanding is no same as Universal platform) but nothing on this topic.
This link https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn751495.aspx
shows up options to "Port your app to the Universal Windows Platform (UWP)" but doesn't mention anything for this upgrade path.
So I am curious if this is even possible? If yes, are there any documentation or examples to follow? If no, why?
Thanks in advance!
You cannot upgrade a WPF app to a Windows 10 Universal app, because those are very different platforms.
Both have capabilities and markups that doesn't exist or have an equivalent in the other.
So there is no "simple" upgrade path, you would have to rewrite a lot of UI but you can maybe reuse the "business" part if it's written in a Portable Class Library.
I'm planning web application and considering silverlight as development platform. Will it help to solve browser compatibility issues? The app intended to be used on desktops only (no mobile).
Yes, it will solve browser compatibility issues, and could work on both Mac OS and Windows with the very same code.
The only drawback is that, the first time your user connect to your application, he will need to download the Silverlight plugin.
Awesome you would say? Well, unfortunately some people that probably never try to do something like image processing or advanced line of business application in a browser decide that plugins are not so cool and that you would be able to do the same thing with the magic power of HTML5.
We are still waiting to have the same possibility in HTML5 that we have in Silverlight or Flash, but plugins are already dead. At least as long as no big compay want to push them again.
So, my advice would be: don't start a project in Silverlight. You will have problems, even if you do not target mobile. For example it becomes harder and harder to find compatible good tools (like ReSharper, NCrunch, or even just a decent unit testing library). And in further release of Windows and Mac OS, it will probably not be supported at all (IE for Windows RT already does not support Silverlight).
Sorry man, Silverlight is dead, you arrive after the battle.
If your developing your application for an Intranet, I would say Silverlight is an excellent choice.
If you are developing for the Internet, use an HTML based language
