More a case of what am doing awake & online at this time of day? Hospital appointment is the answer, time to waste beforehand, then home and revise for the next interview tomorrow!

Nothing serious, I hope?
Whatever, I wish you well of it...

Not me (I should have said), my Dad. Nothing serious just a check.

Excellent - and it always helps to have company while you wait for the NHS to pull it's finger out.
Why is the first appointment of the day always running an hour late?

It's never too early, the Spoons are open for breakfast dontchaknow! Today I am running at around 73% 'delicate'. We're on baby sitting duty with a rag tag of Mrs Wife's colleagues over for a conference and last night her ex-boss from London came over for dinner. We were not tipsy at the end of the night.

OK, so I took a look, but wanted that look to be look in full-screen.
I got a "can't do full-screen -- see why" message, so I clicked it, and got this[^].
I'll get the missus to translate it at the weekend, but I'm pretty sure it won't be interesting.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

So I asked this question once a few months after Windows 10 was released, but now that it has matured a little I wonder what people's opinions are. I personally don't see any advantage to UWP. Windows Phone is dead, Hololens is kinda cool, but is expensive and despite what Microsoft wants you to think, there is probably o value in porting your apps to work with it. That leaves us left with targeting Xbone and PC. Hardly universal anymore, and to be honest, unless you are developing games (I'm not) Xbone is not a useful target. I'm sure there are a lot of PC users to target, but how many people actually use the store? I know I have 3 or 4 store apps and they are all games. It makes more sense just to use WinForms or WPF at this point. What do y'all think? Is there much point in targeting UWP for you apps?

I have developed my app (C'YaPass: F*orget All Your Passwords | Never Memorize A Password Again <br/> Never Type A Password Again <br/> Never Make Up A Password Again[^]) as a WinForm app, Android app (both released) and as an iOS app (soon to release) and as a UWP.
I was initially going to deploy as UWP to the windows store, but the burdens of it became so overwhelming that I've mostly given up on it and the thing is that it actually runs. It's just all of the stuff for deployment. Getting the icons and splash screens going.
I did all of that for the Android app and it was a really streamlined process. Even getting it into the Android store was so easy. Lots of hurdles to get to the UWP release.
Last Straw
The last straw was when I learned that the UWP would run exclusively on Windows 10 Anniversary edition. To get it to run on people's Win8.1 machines I had to target another UNIVERSAL deployment.
I even made this graphic in dishonor of microsoft's use of the word UNIVERSAL:

does that mean you've dumped the UWP code in the bitbucket entirely, or has MS came up with a sane way to distribute UWP outside the store?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Thanks for asking and continuing the conversation.
I plan to still deploy the UWP (probably as two versions - win8.1 and win10) because the code is completely done. I just need to get a WinStore / dev account and do all that overhead work.
Right now focusing on getting to iOS then after that I'll release the UWP.

Haha. If you think the store hoops to jump through for UWP are painful, don't ever try pushing an iOS app. Apple is the worst

Honestly, I'm already quivering from the possibility of problems.
I'm hoping somehow I fall through the cracks and my app is immedately received.
I just got an email (minutes ago) and it looks like I'm officially an AppleDev now so we will see.

What's UWP?
Does that answer your question?
A more complete answer is that it struck me as one of those dead on arrival technologies (moreso than most, actually), so I've been ignoring it.

I'd say that depends on your target audience. If they want a desktop or a client/server app, Winforms and/or WPF should be perfectly fine. If they want a web-app then perhaps you'd use ASP.NET or something similar. If they want a mobile app - your priority targets would certainly need to be iOS and Android (95%+ combined market share), and if so you'd want to use Xamarin.
Using UWP would make sense if your product includes a device - so you'd be selling a pre-customized Win 10 tablet/laptop with your app running on it. Although at that point you need to ask yourself if you'd be better off writing an old fashioned desktop app.
