jemikwa, to android in Microsoft is ending support for the Windows Subsystem for Android

I saw Windows subsystem and panicked thinking it was the Linux version. Did not know an Android variant existed, that’s a bummer

This is such a shame. I play quite a few games through this that aren’t available on Windows, by enabling Google Play on the system. The Google Play Games thing that Microsoft / Google were working on doesn’t include anywhere near the number of apps I can get running via WSA. I really hope someone is able to bundle this up and release it as a standalone package once Microsoft drop support.

lol, they advertised the hell out of this feature just to kill it off in a year or two?

Yes, in typical Microsoft fastion

ElPussyKangaroo,

Given that this depended on the Amazon App Store, and that Amazon seems to be moving away from Android dev in general, it seems clear that this is just a reaction.

It was a very good product, working very well for dev purposes.

But the Amazon app store… lol… I didn’t see any single app worthy of being downloaded. Literally don’t have any real app. And if accidentally has a good app, it was last updated in 2018

bat,

what about android studio?

Moonrise2473,

WSA is (was) way more performant and allows resizing to any kind of aspect ratio on the fly instead of creating a specific AVD for each use case. It is (was) awesome for quickly testing UI layouts…

When this was released, MicroShit forced Amazon to remove Minecraft from non-Amazon devices, so they could sell the expensive windows store version. I had purchased it on Amazon appstore for my nephew through a gift card balance that I had. I had to buy it on Play Store again. 🤦‍♂️

And the greedy ducks probably won’t bring it back to non-Amazon devices again.
