Re: Project Astoria Tools leaked,

FYI, that "emulator-5554" has nothing to do with running an on-device emulator, but instead is referring to the device connection. If I'm remembering correctly, it shows that way when deploying Windows 10 UAP appx files from the command line too.

It's a native ARM implementation of an Android subsystem.

Thanks, I don't know about this command, so sorry if I am wrong.
Also, I've never used command line to deploy apps Always using IDEs and Tools).:amaze:

waiting for this to be supported on more devices. Error code 14 here on my 640 XL.

 

[msanda]

wholly ****. it works.. just installed the target app and the starbucks app

 

[Ryujingt3]

Even though you can install the apps do they actually run fully?

 

[msanda]

yep. they run. so far what I see is that when you run apps that require play store, it just redirects you to the windows store. also app install is very very slow... my guess is that the adp install is trying to recompile the app locally first and editing xml files before it uploads to the device.

 

[msanda]

yep.loaded.. and running..

 

[Arjun KR]

can you try installing popular apps like Facebook or WhatsApp? would love to see how these perform.

 

[msanda]

So as off now. I have installed a couple of games, and some apps.. Basically it boils down to this. If the app requires google play services, The app will load but will fail to start displaying an error messages saying you need google play features. So apps like snapchat, hangout, gmail, gmaps will not work. Facebook works, and WhatsApp works. Starbucks app works. As far as performance, I am pretty stoked.. I am running this on a lumia 925 and it works better than some windows phone apps. There is a delay in scrolling performance for some apps that has the "inifinite" scroll. but nothing worse than some android phones. If this is the early work on what Microsoft is doing. I am really impressed so far. But I think google will start locking down apk access.

 

[Matt Addy]

Trying now

 

[Matt Addy]

okay having an issue. everything goes fine until I get this
"failed to copy 'App.apk' to '/data/local/tmp/App.apk' : permission denied"

 

[ygtgngr]

I think you should write the full path of the apk. i.e. C:\Users\User\Desktop\application.apk

 

[oscarxvita]

try the same folder where adb.exe is inside

 

[Matt Addy]

I think you should write the full path of the apk. i.e. C:\Users\User\Desktop\application.apk

yeah I got that far. having new issue now

 

[bhg73]

Simply wow

 

[Matt Addy]

*UPDATE* I got it working must have just been the apps I tried first
