Without support for the main Google store, this feature was doomed from day one.

If the laughably bad Amazon app store selection was any indication, it shouldn't have been even released.
Another half-baked Microsoft feature ending the usual way: the trash can.

Finally, it shows once again how insanely terrible was the Microsoft decision to exit from the mobile arena. And it will keep getting worse.

It's good for development, with no working Android emulator in Android Studio that works on Snapdragon this is a way to do it as you can deploy directly from Visual Studio.

Microsoft Mobile didn't get support from Google nor many Playstore apps - it had laughably bad app store selection. It wasn't any different then, so it ended up in the trash can
