A Node.js command-line tool that converts Android APK files into Chrome apps (unpacked extensions) runnable on Chrome OS, OS X, Linux, and Windows via the ARChon runtime. It generates a directory that can be loaded through Chrome's developer-mode extensions page.
Use cases
- run android apps on chromebook
- convert apk to chrome app
- run android apps on mac or linux via chrome
- load apk as unpacked chrome extension
- test android apps on desktop chrome
When to choose
- you need to run a simple Android app on a Chromebook or desktop Chrome and can tolerate limited compatibility
- you want to experiment with the legacy ARChon runtime approach
When to avoid
- you need reliable, modern Android app support - Chrome OS now has native Android support and Chrome apps are deprecated
- you need Google Play services or complex apps
- you want an actively maintained tool
