It seems that Niantic does not want to spread the profits it is having with its famous video game nor does it want to make more versions of Pokémon Go for other platforms. This is a problem for many users, especially Windows Phone users, who did not have an official version and now the unofficial version seems disabled.
Following the latest update to the game, Niantic has updated the API and servers , causing certain apps and games, such as PoGo, to stop working . So, if you were playing Pokémon Go on your Windows 10 Mobile device and it stopped working, it's due to the new Niantic update.
Niantic could help PoGo developers to get Windows Phone to have Pokémon Go
The PoGo developers are currently working on a solution to make this port available again ; however, they are not optimistic and believe it will not be possible. The problem lies in the encryption of Niantic's servers, which prevents any external or unapproved application, such as PoGo, from accessing them.
This is a problem because even if they find a solution, PoGo developers and users will have the same problem update after update , potentially leading to PoGo being abandoned.
Some developers have mentioned abandoning the project on GitHub , as they're unwilling to be constantly monitoring Niantic and its server updates. This would be a major inconvenience for many who use PoGo as their client to hunt Pokémon. Ideally, Niantic would provide PoGo developers with some kind of certification or similar for its operation, since Niantic won't be creating a Windows Phone app. However, it seems unlikely. This might be because Niantic is finally releasing a Pokémon Go app for Windows Phone. What do you think? Do you believe this will happen?
