ARM32 Support Removed Notice

For deliberated consideration, This project will remove the ARM32 support on the Windows platform. Here are the reasons:

  • The latest version of ARM32 version for Windows desktop is Redstone 2 Insider Build 15035. I know Windows RT 8.1 and Windows 10 IoT Core aren't in the stage of end of support, but most of daily users are drop their devices (Windows RT 8.x tablets) or have a better solution (Windows 10 IoT Core users on Raspberry Pi devices should migrate to Linux or ARM64 version for Windows 10 desktop).
  • Future ARM processors are deprecating ARM32 ISA support, and Apple Silicon M1 had dropped the ARM32 support at all. So we can't run ARM32 version of Windows desktop applications on these devices. According to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/arm/arm32-to-arm64, we will know Microsoft will remove the support for 32-bit ARM versions of applications in a future release of Windows 11.
  • Reduce the size of release package and make the continuous integration faster.
