What is PoGo-UWP?

PoGo-UWP is an UWP (Universal Windows Platform) client for Niantic's Pokemon™ Go Android/iOS game. Being a client, this means that it gives you the ability to play in the same game-world as your friends that are playing with an Android or iOS device.

Why PoGo-UWP?

  • Because learning new things is always cool
  • Because it could be done
  • Because Microsoft rejected my job application saying that I wasn't showing enough "passion", and this proves them wrong :)

Current features

  • Login with Pokemon™ Trainer Club accounts
  • Similar UI as the Android/iOS version but 2D only
  • Use the map to see both Pokemons and PokeStops near your location
  • Catch Pokemons
  • Visit PokeStops and get new items

Todo

  • Move to POGOLib OR to the previous Rocket-API based on which repo gets updated the most
  • Improve layout/UI/animations
  • Fix crashes
  • Add Google Login support
  • Make better code
  • Add eggs support
  • Add Pokedex and inventory management
  • Add gyms support

Known issues

  • Random crashes when tapping/panning map after catching a Pokemon™ or after visiting a PokeStop
  • Map elements are shown on wrong position if you zoom out too much
  • Menus and text don't scale with screen size
  • Suspension is a mess for some reasons

What do I need

  • Images for missing buttons (inventory, Pokedex™ and other things)
  • Strings (item names, descriptions)
  • Park/Desert backgrounds

FAQ

Will this work on Windows Phone 8.1?

No. But everyone's free to port my code to WP8.1 if he wishes.

Does the game support AR & 3D?

No, for both of them. I'm just a single dev, I'm not Niantic.

Can I play with the same account that I'm using on my Android/iOS device?

Yes.

Will it run on low-end devices?

It should, but I couldn't test it. It works with the 512MB-ram emulator, so I'm quite confident that it should be ok on real devices too.

Device portal returns error 0x80073cf6
