Bangalore: The latest weapon by Microsoft is to attract IOs developers through its tool, where the iOs developers can migrate their iPhone apps to Windows phone 7 platform.

This application also behaves as a mapping tool. The mapping tool was launched on April 29 2011. The iPhone-Windows Phone API Mapping Tool figures out how an application can be coded similarly on Windows 7. The tool also offers code samples for developers who are not familiar with the Microsoft platform.

The procedures for the transformation of these applications are available on a site which is titled as; "Windows Phone 7 Guide for iPhone Applications Developers". This guide helps developers to migrate their iOs app to Windows phone 7. It also behaves as a coding dictionary.
