Hi !

First of all, let me start this thread by congratulating you on what JUCE framework has achieved.  
Just by quickly glancing code in JUCE, I can see that it’s quite competitive compared for example such frameworks as Qt.

Like probably was asked over here:

> [@iOs and Android in Visual Studio (2017)](https://forum.juce.com/t/ios-and-android-in-visual-studio-2017/22203):
>
> Visual Studio (2017) has all facilities for building and testing apps for iOS and Android. I like the vs editor (w. Visual Assist X), so I’d like to use vs as much as possible. Can I in any way import Android and iOS Projects from the Projucer to Visual Studio (2017) ? – Eigil

I would like also to get Android support for Visual studio.

And to my best understanding, like it’s probably answered in that thread - Visual studio support is not yet added.

But now I would like to discuss bit deeper about potential cooperation approach - I by myself have created utility for Visual studio projects generation - tool called syncProj -

Documentation can be found here:

> **[syncProj - command line utility for project building](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1C1YrbFUVpTBXajbtrC62aXru2om6dy5rClyknBj5zHU/edit)**
>
> syncProj - command line utility for project building Where to get ?	2 You miss some feature in syncProj-tool?	2 First time project migration	2 First time project generation	3 Project updating during continuous development	3 Solution / Project...

And source code can be found here:  
[https://sourceforge.net/p/syncproj/code/HEAD/tree/](https://sourceforge.net/p/syncproj/code/HEAD/tree/)

One of potential approach of projuicer to generate necessary solution / project C# script to build necessary solutions / projects - this way you’re not only get Android support, but also can potentially completely replace Visual studio project generation using syncProj.

I suspect that syncProj will not necessary be able to fullfil all your requirements, but I could co-work with you on getting your requirements / needs satisfied.

Also bit curious about tearing bits and pieces from JUCE library itself, if it is / will be possible to make some part of JUCE library as completely free (MIT licensing) - starting maybe from String, can continue deeper into JUCE class hierarchy. I would prefer that you will not reply to this question on this forum, but maybe we could discuss on mutual goals directly either by mail, skype or other means.
