Took a crack at the "Windows App Certification" test for UWP and PASSED first time (except for the logo which I let default). Some 29 automated tests. Developed the app in WPF and created a .Net standard library. Converted the WPF to UWP and reused the .Net standard library. If you use WPF and not UWP, reconsider.

Congrats! In your line of work, you're writing UWP apps?

Congrats! In your line of work, you're writing UWP apps?
This is a product I'm fielding on my own; using what I gained building for others (non UWP). I found it was easier than I thought to convert a WPF front-end to UWP. And the MS Store is easier to deal with than anything I could come up with (marketing an app). The store will even try and figure out itself all the devices your app will run on. And in some ways, UWP makes it a little harder to create an ugly UI.

Because I want to sell it. And I think it actually is a new experience (for me and the user).

Fair enough, especially that it's a method of gaining experience in doing things a little differently. I'm only curious because there doesn't seem to be a very active market for UWP apps -- hardly anyone's got a windows phone, and most people go for desktop apps on laptops and desktops.

I'm thinking "tablets" (first) and then desktops. This app will probably run on XBox and Hololense. I can scale it from some 3 x 4 to 54 inches (well Windows 10 does that). It maintains state. I would have bought the Surface Go instead of the IPad back when; even now, I haven't touched anything Android or IOS (except my 8 year old IPad [as a pdf reader] ... which obsoleted after the 2nd year).

Well, as someone who has an itoy 3, two android tablets (because I broke one), and two windows tablets, I use: itoy: - Not at all, I dumped it on the missus, who uses it exclusively for looking at websites about men's bums. Android: - Way better. Good for comms stuff and reading. - With a decent file manager, it almost becomes usable as a computer, but the user interface makes it difficult to do serious stuff with it. windows: - The real thing. I use them for anything I'd do with a desktop or laptop -- In Desktop Mode. UWP mode reduces their usefulness closer to that of Android (if you don't count using the UWP start page or godawful "apps" list abomination to open desktop apps). But that's me. If your app is aimed at less techy, more casual users, UWP is probably OK. Find a discussion group, or whatever, that has your target consumers, and ask them what they like -- a fair number of people on CP will say the same as me. If it were me asking users, I'd also ask things like "What do you like buttons to look like?" (Although I'd be tempted to phrase it "Do you enjoy hunting for buttons, and tapping everywhere to see if there are buttons, or do you stupidly prefer to be able to see what you're looking at, you old fogey who doesn't understand the way of the future?"

Congratulations ! When you say: "And in some ways, UWP makes it a little harder to create an ugly UI," I want to ask what you use for basic controls ... checkboxes, or panels, or date-time picking. Are there robust 3rd. party controls, like a grid, or, or treeview, out there ? cheers, Bill
