Today at BUILD we announced the availability of Visual Studio 2013 and Blend that brings forward significant advances for authoring XAML-based Windows Store apps for Windows 8.1. This post describes some of the new experiences we are excited to bring to you. In follow up posts, we will describe each of these experiences in greater detail – so stay tuned.
Everything we’ll tell you about today is only available for Windows Store apps with Visual Studio 2013. To try these exciting new capabilities, you’ll need to either re-target your existing Windows 8 app (retargeting guidance here), or create a new one.
