Was it ever actually supported? I was waiting for it to be ready to switch to Windows 11 since android emulators are all extremely heavy, I just remember it being on a preview version.

It worked well. But only with Amazon AppStore apps, so nothing useful

This is what gets me. If they actually just let people install Android apps. It might have worked.

There was also nothing stopping you from sideloading apps. I used it with Auroa Store.
