Windows Subsystem for Android™️ enables your Windows 11 device to run Android applications that are available in the Amazon Appstore. Learn more about set up, device requirements, installing and uninstalling, input compatibility, testing and debugging, and using the Amazon Appstore.

Microsoft is ending support for the Windows Subsystem for Android™️ (WSA). As a result, the Amazon Appstore on Windows and all applications and games dependent on WSA will no longer be supported beginning March 5, 2025. Until then, technical support will remain available to customers.

Customers that have installed the Amazon Appstore or Android apps prior to March 5, 2024, will continue to have access to those apps through the deprecation date of March 5, 2025. Please reach out to our support team for further questions at support.microsoft.com. We are grateful for the support of our developer community and remain committed to listening to feedback as we evolve experiences.

    It was a very good product, working very well for dev purposes.

    But the Amazon app store… lol… I didn’t see any single app worthy of being downloaded. Literally don’t have any real app. And if accidentally has a good app, it was last updated in 2018

        WSA is (was) way more performant and allows resizing to any kind of aspect ratio on the fly instead of creating a specific AVD for each use case. It is (was) awesome for quickly testing UI layouts…
