Microsoft is one step closer to discovering its two-screen surface gadgets. The business has offered a developer preview tools for building apps compatible with the Android-powered Surface Duo. To support the dual-screen device, it includes Java frameworks and emulation. Because it is preliminary code, it will be useful for developers when the Surface Duo is released later this year.

Microsoft Gives Surface Duo Apps a Huge Thumbs up

Developers who want to create services for Windows 10X and Surface Neo will have to wait a little longer. The business expected to issue a pre-release version of the appropriate Windows development kit in the coming weeks. The offer will be available through Insider previews, with a 10X-ready emulator and programming interfaces available on February 11th.

During the launch, this time period must result in a feasible number of apps for both the Duo and Neo smartphones. The question is, “How many?” It is dependent on Microsoft’s time interval and the speed with which updated development kits are released.
