Windows Phone 7 is looking for new app developer talent. Today, Microsoft released the iPhone/iOS to Windows Phone 7 API mapping tools to help developers make the seamless transition and possibly even a new revenue stream. As the self described “coding translation dictionary”, the API mapping tool could single-handedly change the dynamic and quality of WP7 apps for the better.
Without going too deep in the technical details of the WP7 API mapping tools, here’s what you need to know. Simply grab your iOS app with the tool, pick out the iOS API calls and quickly look up the equivalent classes, methods and notification events in WP7. Additionally, you can search a given iOS API call and find the equivalent WP7 along with C# sample codes and API documentations on both platforms.
If you are a current iOS developer looking to port your app(s) to Windows Phone 7, today is your lucky day.
