Getting Started

Ready to bring your iOS app to Windows? Getting started with the bridge is easy using Windows 10.

To use the Windows Bridge for iOS you'll need:

  • Windows 10 (any version).
  • Visual Studio 2015. Visual Studio 2015 Community is available for free here.
  • The latest release of the Bridge, which you can download here.

Installing the SDK

Installing the SDK is simple. Just extract the winobjc.zip file to an appropriate location on your PC.

Note: The path of your installation location must not contain any spaces.

To enable Objective-C syntax highlighting in Visual Studio, navigate to bin/ and double click objc-syntax-highlighting.

Virtual machines

You don't even need a PC to get started: Use a virtual machine on your existing Mac to run a version of Windows 10, pre-loaded with the Bridge tools. Images for leading virtualization tools are available on the Windows Dev Center.
