Windows Bridge for iOS (also referred to as WinObjC) is a Microsoft open source project that provides an Objective-C development environment for Visual Studio/Windows. In addition, WinObjC provides support for iOS API compatibility.

Getting started with WinObjC

To use WinObjC, there are a few requirements. You need: - Windows 10 - Visual Studio 2015 with Windows developer tools. Visual Studio 2015 Community is available for free here. Select (at least) the following components during installation:

1. Programming Languages -> Visual C++

2. Universal Windows App Development Tools (all)

3. Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0/8.1 Tools (all)

The best way to get started with WinObjC is to run one of the samples. We recommend starting with the WOCCatalog sample app, which demonstrates an assortment of iOS and XAML UI controls. To run the sample:

  1. Extract the SDK zip file to a local directory

  2. Navigate to winobjc/samples/WOCCatalog in the extracted directory

  3. Double-click on WOCCatalog-WinStore10.sln to open in VS2015

  4. In VS2015 right-click on the WOCCatalog (Universal Windows) project

  5. Select Set as StartUp project

  6. Use Ctrl-F5 to build and run the app

For guidance about importing your own Xcode project and other Windows Bridge for iOS SDK details, see the wiki

AFNetworking for WinObjC

Since Microsoft's WinObjC is still under development, they have not supported third party library like AFNetworking. Is there any other way around to use already existing AFNetworking in iPhone. And, is Pods supported in the latest WinObjC library?
