I am into analyzing the best possible solution for one of my new development assignment. My requirements: - Platforms supported: Android, iOS, Windows Mobile, Windows desktop. - Need a single code base as far as possible.

I have worked on a couple of apps using Cordova/Ionic/Angular that supports iOS and Android. However, I am not very sure about Windows support, desktop in particular.

Can experts here help me out with, - is Windows desktop supported by Cordova - if yes, which versions of Windows are supported (I have a requirement for supporting Windows 7 as well. is that possible?)

Thanks a lot

Cordova windows create UWP apps, those are apps that can only be distributed through the windows App store (App Store is available on Windows 8 and newer).

There is a cordova-win7 platform, that should create regular windows apps, but it's unmaintained

For desktop apps most people use electron, but Cordova plugins are not compatible
