Support for Universal Windows Project (UWP)

[Sturnus]

Unfortunately this library can currently not be added to a Universal Windows Project.

I think UWP is just another type of dotnet core project so supporting dotnet core should mean it'll work for UWP, at least on Windows 10. Not sure if we'll need to recompile the actual tesseract library which was the sticking point for building 'Metro' apps from previous versions of visual studio since tesseract itself needed to be ported to the Windows Runtime.

is UWP supported on the latest libraries..

In my recent experience, tesseract still does not support UWP, and the main hurdle might be Leptonica, which also doesn't build for UWP (if my attempt with Vcpkg is anything to go by) but is required by Tesseract.

Hi all! Is there any update on this topic? I have been able to integrate Tesseract on my UWP project, and run properly from Debug in Visual Studio 2019, but when I publish it on the MS Store (which requires .NET Native Compilation), the app crashes badly when attempting to create any object related to the Tessearch NuGet, with the following error: Dynamic code generation is not supported on this platform.
