If you’re a member of small club of Windows Phone users this piece of news will make you happy, because you may be able to play Pokemon Go after all on your WP running device.
Niantic Labs, the game developer behind the latest online sensation brought upon the world by the gods at Nintendo gave no love Windows Phone users until now, despite a petition filled by desperate WP geeks demanding.
Now ST-Apps, the developer of of One Auth has posted a proof of concept gif showing off a 3rd party app which lets you find and catch Pokemon.
The app lacks the fancy augmented reality features of the real game, but most users seem to turn those off in any case.
The developer is not releasing the app yet, as he is otherwise occupied, and believes that the currently unencrypted connection to Niantic’s servers will soon be encrypted and become in accessible. He is also concerned about legal issues.
If the connection however remains open he may return to the app in August and release an open source version.
