"This has been consistently a key issue in feedback from the Uno community and with these steps we are starting to deliver improvements to our docs," Uno said in a May 20 blog post.
The open source Uno Platform is a major player in the Microsoft-centric dev space, claiming the only offering that fosters development of single-codebase applications for Windows, WebAssembly, iOS, macOS, Android and Linux, targeting all OSes and browsers.
It has teamed up with Microsoft to highlight the cross-platform app development capabilities of their respective dev tooling offerings, which for Microsoft is Win UI, now out in version 3.
It has also claimed several industry breakthroughs, including being the first to achieve WebAssembly AOT compilation in Visual Studio, along with taking Xamarin.Forms to the web, also with WebAssembly. Furthermore, it made news in porting the Windows Calculator to Linux.
