Microsoft won't fix Android apps on Qualcomm Snapdragon PCs, so this developer stepped up

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.

I experimented with downloading Amazon apps. And I tried mirroring my phone to access Android apps. Honestly couldn't find a way to make it useful.
 
The ability to load Google services and apps in Windows Subsystem for Android has existed for a long time, just google it, this will eventually get a special build with gapps.

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
