The Windows Bridge for iOS (WinObjC) is a Microsoft open-source framework providing an Objective-C development environment for Visual Studio with support for iOS APIs. It lets developers reuse Objective-C code to build Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps that run on Windows 10 devices.

Use cases

  • port an iOS app to Windows without rewriting it in C#
  • compile Objective-C code on Windows using Visual Studio
  • build UWP apps from existing iOS codebases
  • reuse iOS API calls in a Windows application
  • bring an Objective-C library to the Windows platform

When to choose

  • you have an existing Objective-C iOS codebase and must target Windows 10 UWP
  • you want to reuse iOS APIs and Objective-C tooling inside Visual Studio

When to avoid

  • you are starting a new cross-platform project - modern options like .NET MAUI, Flutter, or React Native are actively maintained
  • you need to support current Windows versions beyond UWP or recent iOS APIs
  • you require long-term support or community updates
