RE: Question on Windows platfrom support in plugin documentation
Posted by "Sergey Grebnov (Akvelon)" <v-...@microsoft.com>.
Hi Shingo,
We are in transition from 'windows8' to universal 'windows' platform and working on docs update. The plan is to rename all Windows8 Quirk sections to Windows and have additional details for different supported targets (Windows 8.0, Windows 8.1 and Phone 8.1) inside it (if there is any difference). In this particular example this is definitely a documentation issue which I'll address - just use Windows section and ignore Windows8.
To summarize:
1. Ignore Windows8 if there is Windows section available.
2. Windows section covers all supported targets. If there is any difference in implementation/behavior between targets this will be covered under this section. For example: find method available only on Windows Phone 8.1.
Thx!
Sergey

Hi Sergey
Please kindly let me ask follow up question on Windows platform support. I would like to know how to interpret this supported platform for "Windows".
You say "Windows" mentions Windows 8.0, Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1. But in doc for contacts plugin, for example, "Windows 8 Quirks" for ContactName says familyName property is not supported but "Windows Quirks" doesn't so it seems contradiction to me because "Windows" includes Windows 8.0. Or I could take it that familyName property is not supported on Windows 8.0 but on Windows 8.1 (or Windows Phone 8.1).
So my question is
- Is it right that "Windows 8" is only Windows 8.0, not Windows 8.1?
- When an API has quirks for both "Windows 8" and "Windows" and they say different things to each other, how should we interpret that?
Regards,
Shingo

Yes, we do. Not kidding.
Microsoft has gone to great lengths to make sure that the work we are doing
will be future friendly. This is the reasoning behind choosing the
Universal project path.
