With this release, you can build a universal Windows app project that results in an app for Windows Phone and Windows, all in a one session.
Also in this week's update.
Windows Phone 8.1 side-loading. If you create Universal apps with Windows App Studio Beta, you can test the new app you've created and share it with other App Studio members.
9 new languages. Windows App Studio Beta now supports Chinese (simplified and traditional), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish, in addition to English.
New page layouts for tablets and PCs. Previously, Windows App Studio Beta only supported single page app layouts like those that are typical on a phone. But with this release, the tool can create multi-column layouts that are ideal for tablets and PCs.
Static collections and HTML. If you're using offline data sources (HTML and Static Collection types) those static resources are now stored as JSON or HTML files in the Shared/Assets/Data folder in your app. This allows them to be more easily modified.
Design-time data binding. Using the XAML capabilities that Visual Studio users rely on, Windows App Studio Beta can now bind data at design time so you don't need to run the app to see how it will look with live data loaded.
PCL improvements. Working towards full compatibility with Xamarin's cross-platform tools, Microsoft has been refactoring the code generated by Windows App Studio Beta to make it easier to build using the Xamarin PCL profile.
