Microsoft’s Android-to-Windows 10 tool, Project Astoria, might be shelved

Windows Central today reports that Microsoft’s Project Astoria, a tool that was meant to bridge the gap and make it easy to port Android apps to Windows 10, might end up being scrapped.

It’s not all gloom and doom; the reports continue to say that Microsoft’s Project Islandwood, a tool that reworks and recomplies iOS apps to work on Windows 10, is working and ready to go. Reports suggest Islandwood was used to create the Facebook beta app currently available for Windows 10 mobiles.

It appears that Microsoft believes most developers build apps for both Android and iOS, so only one tool is required.
