How to Install or Sideload Android Apps on Windows 11 | Download Windows Subsystem for Android

 

Microsoft has been teasing Windows Subsystem for Android (WAS) for its operating system ever since the Windows 11 launch. WAS means you can install and run Android apps on Windows operating system; like a virtual system for Android OS. This comes via Amazon App Store collaboration with Microsoft’s Windows 11. However, you can do much more that that. You can also download and sideload any Android App onto Windows 11 including mobile games. Check out the tutorial below.

Today, Microsoft officially announced support for Android apps for Windows 11 Preview builds. However, this is currently only for the Windows Insiders via latest Beta Channel. This is what Microsoft has to say in its blogpost Announcing Android apps on Windows 11.

Our focus right now is delivering this first preview on the now-released version of Windows 11 in the Beta Channel (Windows 11 Build 22000.xxx series builds) in the U.S. The Dev Channel is now on builds from a new development cycle that isn’t matched to what is released to the general public and will not get the preview of Android apps on Windows 11 today. We know Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel are excited to try out Android apps on Windows 11 out and we plan to bring the preview to them down the road.

The best part is that you can always bypass the requirements and install the WAS or Amazon App Store even on the Windows 11 Dev Channel; similar to how we bypassed the Windows 11 TPM and Secure Boot requirements.

This is great news as you can install any Android app onto Windows 11! You can even install the free and opes source App Stores like Aurora app store or F-Droid. This can lead to immense possibilities. Using the Vanced microG, you can install YouTube Vanced or Vanced Music without Google Play Services.

In addition to this, you can install any mobile game on Windows 11 from TapTap app store.

That way, you can seamlessly install any freely available app on Windows 11 without the need for ADB commands.

Windows 11에 도입된 Android용 Windows 하위 시스템

회사의 Linux용 Windows 하위 시스템 에 이어 Microsoft 는 이제 Windows 11 사용자가 Amazon Appstore 또는 Microsoft Store를 통해 Android 앱을 설치할 수 있는 Android용 Windows 하위 시스템을 도입 했습니다 .

현재 Intel, AMD 및 Qualcomm 플랫폼을 실행하는 적격 장치에서 미국 베타 채널의 Windows Insider 부분에 대해 공식적으로 예약되어 있으며 현재 Lords Mobile, June's Journey와 같은 모바일 게임에서 50개의 앱을 사용할 수 있습니다. , 또는 Coin Master, 책 읽기를 위한 Kindle 앱, Khan Academy Kids 및 Lego Duply World가 포함된 어린이 콘텐츠. 더 많은 앱이 분명히 계획되어 있으며 나중에 보게 되겠지만 모든 Windows 11 사용자가 Android 앱을 설치할 수 있는 방법이 있습니다.

Android용 Windows 하위 시스템(WSA)은 기본적으로 설치되지 않지만 Amazon Appstore, Amazon 앱 또는 Microsoft Store의 Android 앱을 설치하면 자동으로 설치됩니다. 회사는 Windows 11에서 Android 앱과 게임을 실행하는 것이 새로운 Snap Layouts 기능 , 마우스, 터치 또는 펜 입력과의 상호 작용, Alt + Tab 및 작업 보기 지원을 지원하는 Windows 앱을 실행하는 것과 동일하게 느낄 것이라고 말합니다 . Android 앱 알림은 Action Center에서 볼 수 있으며 Windows 앱과 Android 앱 간에 또는 그 반대로 복사/붙여넣기도 가능합니다.

내부적으로 Android용 Windows 하위 시스템은 Linux 커널과 AOSP(Android Open Source Project) 버전 11에 의존하며 위에서 설명한 대로 Amazon Appstore 설치의 일부로 Microsoft Store를 통해 배포됩니다. WSL(Linux용 Windows 하위 시스템)과 마찬가지로 WSA는 Hyper-V 가상 머신에서 실행됩니다. Microsoft는 또한 앱을 테스트하고 Windows 10에서 제대로 작동하는지 확인하려는 Android 개발자를 위한 문서 를 게시했습니다 .

그러나 Windows Insiders 프로그램에 참여하지 않거나 참여하지 않으려는 경우 위치를 미국으로 변경하면 어떻게 될까요? XDA 개발자에게는 WSA를 다운로드 및 설치하고 Android 앱을 테스트용으로 로드하는 방법을 설명하는 자습서 가 있습니다. 자세한 내용은 XDA를 방문하세요. 하지만 요약하자면 다음 단계를 거쳐야 합니다.

• Microsoft Store용 rgadguard의 온라인 링크 생성기 로 이동 
• Productid를 선택하고 9P3395VX91NR (WSA의 경우 product id)을 복사/붙여넣기한 다음 slow를 선택하여 바이너리를 찾습니다.
  

  

• 아래로 스크롤하여 현재 "MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_1.7.32815.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle
  2021-10-22" 라는 이름의 가장 큰 파일(1.21GB)을 다운로드합니다.
• 터미널에 설치
  
  

• 1	Add-AppxPackage -Path <path_to_msixbundle_file>

• 이제 Android용 Windows 하위 시스템이 시작 메뉴에 표시됩니다.
  

  

• 일반적인 "adb push" 명령으로 다운로드한 Android apk를 설치하기 전에 adb(포트 필요 없음)를 통해 연결하기 위해 개발자 모드를 활성화하고 WSA 가상 머신 IP 주소를 확인하기 위해 실행합니다.
• 아직 베타 단계이기 때문에 실제로 작동한다면 이제 Windows에서 Android 앱을 사용할 수 있습니다.
