    No UWP apps are available for Xbox One


    In the past weeks I kept seeing articles about UWP (Universal Windows Platform) apps coming to Xbox One. MSN Weather, Maps, and a whole lot of others. However, even after the Summer Update I see no apps like these in the Store. I can search for them and
    I can find them (Weather for example) but they cannot be installed on Xbox One. Note that I am NOT in the insider program - I thought everybody would get these apps after the Summer Update. So what gives? Universal apps were heavily promoted but there are
    no such apps for Xbox at all. What's more, I see even fewer apps than before. Is it a Store error or something else? I'd like a clarification because right now there are barely anything for Xbox regarding apps.

    :)

    UWP apps confusion

    Hey HBK SeanMichael,

    UWP means Universal Windows Plattform. That means that a Developer only need to develop one App that can be used across Windows 10 PC, Windows 10 Mobile and Xbox One. The Stores of all these devices are merged into one store. So you dont need to worry about
    it stated as UWP it most certainly will be a UWP then.

    The Netflix App found on Xbox One is indeed already the UWP Version, aswell as Groove, Onedrive, Hulu and stuff. They should all share your experience across your Win10 devices.

    If you search for Netflix on your Xbox One and look under the Description there is stated:

    Available on: Xbox One, PC, Mobile device. Any app thats labeled in that way is always a UWP App.

    UWP apps confusion

    So I am a little new to UWP apps....

    I had netflix on my xbox. I do not have it on my windows 10 computer. Did the netflix app on the xbox automatically download the uwp version? Or do I have to install netflix on my windows 10 pc before itll send the uwp version to my xbox?

    How do I know it is the uwp version? Also, when browsing the store im assuming there wont be a uwp netflix and a windows 10 netflix? so it wont be labeled uwp netflix or uwp yahoo mail etc.?
