14 DAY TRIAL // The universal app concept seems to be gaining ground on Windows, and it’s not necessarily Microsoft that’s suggesting it, but the number of developers that are now looking at the platform for such projects.
The latest name that might build a universal app is Parrot, as the company is now seeking a project leader that would work with third parties to create an official app for Windows 10.
Universal app for Windows 10 devices
Posted on the company’s French website, the job announcement explains that a Parrot app that would come as a companion to drone owners is needed on Windows 10 phones and tablets, so the aim is clearly to build a universal app working on all devices.
“The market for drones Consumers develops on many fronts and Parrot launches each year a new range of drone to meet the needs and expectations of our customers. In parallel, the Windows platform is becoming increasingly popular with the release of Windows 10 and the drone of users eagerly await the release / compatibility of the application with FreeFlight control this OS,” the job ad reads.
“The purpose of this position is to drive the development of FreeFlight application for Windows by following the roadmap of features Parrot Drone. The aim is to outsource these developments on the OS Windows Phone and Tablet for minidrones and Bebop drones 1 & 2.”
Microsoft has recently praised the adoption of universal apps, claiming that more and more developers are joining this bandwagon with their very own software, so Parrot’s plans are good news for everyone, including the company itself and users.
As for the release of Parrot’s app, keep in mind that this is still in the project stage at the moment, and it could take many months before we find it in the store, but it’s definitely a good thing to see the company interested in such an app.
