Microsoft kills Project Astoria, the tool designed to port Android apps to Windows 10

Astoria was one of the fabled “bridges” that Microsoft introduced during Build 2015. Each bridge is designed to help developers port their apps to UWP, with bridges for iOS, Web, and traditional Win32 desktop apps also announced.
