UWP represents the future of the Windows platform, opening up opportunities for us to leverage the latest touch-enabled hardware and to deliver Adobe XD to a future generation of Windows-based devices.Īdobe XD is the first UWP app from Adobe, which means there is a lot of learning along the way. That means we’re not just porting the product from Mac to Windows, but rather, we’re investing in a completely new Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app that will be available exclusively on Windows 10. At the same time as we’re catching up, we also want to ensure we’re building a next-generation design tool that takes advantage of the latest hardware and software, so as to really deliver something special for designers on Windows. Now that we have established a solid foundation with Adobe XD on Mac, we’re working as fast as we can to “catch up” on Windows. We heard from our existing customers on Mac that they were dealing with the friction that came from trying to use non-Adobe tools alongside those from Creative Cloud, so we decided to start with that platform. Focusing on one platform enabled us to iterate and adjust quickly, before committing to multi-platform development. When we first started working on Adobe XD, we wanted to focus on a single platform to ensure that we were on the right path to creating something of true value.
Thankfully the response has been amazing! We’re excited to announce that we will be delivering several major new capabilities in the coming months, including layers, symbols and real-time mobile preview – culminating in a milestone release on Mac that we believe will be ready for everyday use by UX designers. While we were confident in our approach to delivering Adobe XD, there’s nothing quite like the reality of shipping the product, measuring the level of interest, working through the feedback and analysing the usage data, so as to understand whether we were on the right trajectory or whether we needed to rethink the approach.
It’s been an exhilarating six months since we released the first public beta version of Adobe XD, available for Mac OS, back in March ‘16.
