When Microsoft announced (http://www.engadget.com/2014/04/02/universal-windows-apps-on-xbox/) earlier today that universal Windows apps could run on the Xbox One (http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/20/microsoft-xbox-one-review/), it seemed pretty...self-explanatory. A developer could easily port any Windows or Windows Phone app over to the Xbox for you to use on your TV.Right? Not exactly. Here at Build (http://www.engadget.com/event/build2014/articles/), we had the chance to sit down with Steven Guggenheimer, corporate vice president in the Developer Platform and Evangelism group, who gave us a little more insight into how this universal app thing is going to work on Xbox.
