☂ Add support for UWP #14967

@steskalja

Description

@steskalja

Latest status: We have decided to not support UWP, as discussed in #14967 (comment).


Is there any plan to add support for Windows 10/UWP? The reason I ask this is because there are almost 1billion windows 10 devices on the internet now and more that are not even on the internet.

Probably not for now, see #10881.

I would like to include myself to this feature request, it would be awesome that Flutter supported Windows 10 UWP.

This should cover Xbox One as well, which you can target in Xamarin/UWP

Yes please. Windows support would definitely be a game-changer.

this is not official, but you can check this project. https://github.com/google/flutter-desktop-embedding I think glfw is also available on windows so you can try 😉

I was just typing up the same feature request 😉... I hope this gets some traction!

As a user with several Windows, MacOS, and Chrome OS devices in my home... the latest model Surface Pro consistently ends up being my daily driver each year; ever since the release of the SP4. Seems to be extremely popular on campus and at work now as well. However, the scant selection of high-quality UWP apps continues to be the largest sore spot for me.

I believe the elegance & ease of Flutter could potentially provide the incentive devs/corps need, to include Win10 in their multi-platform strategy... and in the process, hopefully promote Flutter to as similar a status/popularity as Java; for IT exec consideration, when selecting tools & platforms for product development.

Xamarin, Ionic etc. include UWP, so why Flutter?

@cbracken , I think this might be closed as it collides with #102172

Yep -- was waiting to file that issue before closing this one out.

Closing this since our intent is to wind down development on, and remove the UWP embedder in order to focus on the Win32 embedder which, over time, will start to adopt Windows SDK support (once our supported OSes is a subset of those that support doing so).

See: #14967 (comment)

To be fair, UWP look like being slowly phased out.
Maybe just focus on WinUI+ Uno. That is basically open source. As Flutter is direct competition to Uno and Microsoft.
Its would be all community's work.
Regardless x86 architecture (Most the userbase, still be on Windows 10-11), and UWP still have year of support until end of Windows 11.

We are very proud to work closely with Microsoft to ensure Uno Platform can provide day-zero support for WinUI 3 and bring WinUI-built applications everywhere, including Web, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android.
