Man what in the world are they doing.
Sounds like no one was using it.
To the surprise of no one when it was limited by needing to use the Amazon App store
You could side load apps at least.
But I don’t think the type of person who wants to use this feature also would want the Amazon app store installed on their device.
Also, don't google offer some functionality for testing Android apps in Windows?
Android studio has that.
But android studio sucks. Also it’s just a KVM VM so you can just make your own and save the like 20 gigs of bloat.
Exactly. I decided to check it out a couple weeks ago and needing to install the Amazon app store was an instant nope.
Was going to look into side-loading but I didn't really have a use case to make it worth my time.
Microsoft is working hard at sucking, from what I've seen the past few years.
I think they'll be happy with their OpenAI investment.
Until the AI bubble goes kaplooey

They're probably doubling their efforts on native ARM apps
