For developers, this API allows them to determine whether their access to browser-based storage is restricted by a user’s privacy settings and to request storage access from users if so. This capability can be used to create graceful fallback experiences in cases when storage access may be restricted by features such as tracking prevention in Microsoft Edge. For users, this API provides greater transparency into and control over the sites that are requesting access to browser-based storage that could be used to track their behaviors across the web. This post outlines what the addition of the Storage Access API means for both developers and users. Developer Experience Using the Storage Access API is as easy as [ more… ]

A deep-dive into WinUI 3 in desktop apps XAML Islands was our first solution to enable developers to use UWP XAML inside their desktop (Win32) apps. Within a couple of months after the release of XAML Islands, behavioral insights and customer interviews raised some signals about how developers were using it. We discovered that a significant number of apps were using XAML for the entire UI; in fact, many apps were using WPF’s Window and Windows Forms’s Form classes for the sole purpose of hosting XAML. Additionally, interviews revealed that C++ Windows developers were interested in XAML as a replacement for MFC. This made us think about whether we can help customers further. We listed a set of hypotheses about what Windows developers were expecting and created a prototype to validate/invalidate these hypotheses. The outcome of this validation process was [ more… ]
