Yep, the title is true.After I resetted Maps by going into Settings > Apps > Maps and launching it, it just wouldn't show up anymore.Can someone maybe fix this in a future update?

I still cannot copy and paste successfully using character map UWP.

mine still show up as a box with a question mark in it.

Also my character map UWP options are set up weird. not like the 'standard' way I am seeing everyone else's in screen shots/videos

UWP porting guidance for Android and iOS developers

Today, we are pleased to introduce a new app development concept map for app developers that aligns software development concepts across the iOS, Android, and Windows platforms. App developers new to Windows 10, who are already familiar with Android or iOS, will be able to use this reference to quickly orient themselves on building for the UWP.

Like the 2nd century B.C. Rosetta Stone tablet, which enabled translation between three different ancient languages, this Windows app concept map can be used to translate ideas between Android, iOS, and Windows, making porting much easier between platforms. You can use the concept map side-by-side with other useful resources found in our porting apps to Windows 10 section on MSDN. Reviewing this guide will help you port your apps to Windows and expose them to a larger user base.

Excerpt from the guidance document: a side-by-side map of data concepts in Android, iOS, and Windows.

The concept mapping guidance is broken out into 15 sections to make navigation between concepts and platforms simple:

User-interface – overview of controls and styling– overview of controls and styling

Navigation and app structure – toolbars, layouts and back buttons

Custom inputs – speech recognition and beyond

Data – databases, REST calls and web sockets

Tooling – comparing IDEs

App lifecycle – suspend and resume events as well as background tasks

Performance – threading, async calls and performance best practices

Monetization – in-app purchases and trials

Adapting to multiple platforms – responsive layout and device capability testing

Notifications – push and scheduled notifications as well as display widgets

Media capture and rendering – video and audio

Sensors – accessing raw and processed sensor data

Location and mapping – maps, geofencing and geocoding

App-to-app communication – talking between different apps

Software design – overview of preferred design patterns by platform

At a glance, you’ll be able to see the difference between platforms and identify which features and functionality are available to each. The guidance is laid out in a convenient table that let you easily locate and learn more about the platform details you are most interested in. Android supports app widgets, for example, but iOS does not. iOS supports badges, on the other hand, while Android does not. Windows supports badges and also has a tile system.

Beyond development concept mapping, it’s worth noting that the Dev Center provides a large array of additional resources to help app developers bring their existing code to Windows 10. Here are just a few links to help get you started:

Porting Apps to Windows 10

Bringing your mobile apps to the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) provides new reach for your existing code beyond mobile. For iOS developers, it’s also worth looking at the Windows Bridge for iOS, which makes it easier to use your existing Objective-C codebase on Windows.

Getting started with map APIs and controls

As apps become more and more location-aware, developers should be asking themselves how to integrate maps and location services into their existing applications. The Universal Windows Platform (UWP) offers a variety of controls and services to do just that.

Part 1: you’ll learn how to get started with maps in UWP.

Part 2: you will learn to use the map services and work with geolocation.

Part 3: you’ll learn how to add pushpins and other cool external elements to customize your maps and make them look more interesting.

The code samples in this post either come directly from or are based on Microsoft’s Universal Samples on GitHub. These samples are an excellent way to become familiar with the various UWP APIs and controls and go beyond mapping...
