We will inform our readers about the availability of iTunes on Windows Store as soon as Apple officially informs about its availability on Store. Having iTunes on Store would allow Apple to update it easily via the Windows Store automatic updates service.

Open iTunes, then enable Wi-Fi sync on your device.

very easily but having iTunes in Store is in itself a great boost for Microsoft vision of ultimately having either UWP apps on the Store or bring the Win32 apps on Store using the desktop bridge. Connect your iOS device to your computer and make sure it is unlocked. This app would be not a Universal Windows Platform app rather it is made from the desktop version of the app using Microsoft desktop bridge (Project Centennial).Įven though having a UWP app on Windows Store would have made Apple enabling many native features of UWP apps like the Live Tiles, Taskbar badge etc. Hence making the transition to this app from the desktop app a lot smoother and without any hiccups at all. It also doesn't install any services in the background: Centennial apps aren't allowed to do that.Īs such, if you want to use iTunes (and honestly, it's probably the best way of managing music on your iDevice, even if it isn't absolutely required these days), then this Store version, rather than the traditional application, is the one to go for.So if you are currently using the iTunes desktop Win32 app the Store version of the app would migrate necessary data like the libraries, iOS backups.

The Store version of iTunes uses Microsoft's Centennial technology-a way of packaging up regular Windows applications for distribution and installation through the Store-so, for the most part, it's identical to the traditional iTunes application. It's a hefty install at some 477MB, and once installed, it's still just iTunes: it can sync and upgrade iPhones and iPads, it can play and manage music, and it can make purchases from the iTunes Store. Promised just over a year ago at Microsoft's Build conference in 2017, Apple iTunes is now finally available in the Microsoft Store.
