This webinar is hosted by Embarcadero’s Developer Advocate Jim McKeeth and Microsoft’s Partner Program Manager Scott Hanselman to discuss the newly added Windows Subsystem for Android feature in Windows 11 from the developer’s perspective. How to set up WSA and use it for cross platform development In this video, Jim McKeeth and Scott Hanselman will discuss everything about WSA from the perspective of developers. Similar to Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), WSA makes cross platform development of Android apps on Windows easier and more manageable.


This new feature is extremely beneficial for both end-users and developers. This enables your Windows 11 device to run Android applications that are available in the Amazon Appstore. Another drawback is that you'll need to follow the steps again when a new WSA update is available.Probably one of the most exciting new features of Windows 11 is the addition of the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA). Getting the Play Store running via the script could be time-consuming as it requires you to install WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) and know the terminal/command prompt basics for troubleshooting. However, if you're still keen on installing the Google Play Store with Google services, WSAGAScript is an open source project which lets you do just that. It was later discovered that the scripts were injecting users with malware and malicious scripts, as reported by BleepingComputer. When WSA was first announced, people started looking for ways to install Google Play Store on the same, and that's when someone stumbled upon a script that allowed installing the Play Store and other Google Services in a jiffy. Now that you're done installing WSA, you may think the next step is to install the Google Play Store and Play Services for a fully blown Android experience. Backing up and restoring Windows 10/11 installs is easy and doesn't require much effort.

If you plan to install loads of apps, back up Windows. Winget install -id=9P3395VX91NR -e -accept-package-agreements All you do is open the command prompt or the terminal, type the following command, and press Enter: Alternatively, you can also use Winget to pull the WSA installer package from the Microsoft Store database.
