Ionic 2 beta.3 has officially announced support for Universal Windows Platform Apps, offering a complete UI look-and-feel and component set specifically for Windows devices. This development is particularly beneficial for enterprise companies with significant deployments of Windows Phones and for those interested in building apps for mobile Windows devices like the Surface. The integration leverages Windows 10's capability to use JavaScript as a native app development language, and full Windows previews have been added to Ionic's documentation. Users are encouraged to update their npm dependency on ionic-angular to 2.0.0-beta.3 or higher, as support for Windows Phone 8 and below will not be provided.
