## What it is
Microsoft's issue tracker and developer documentation hub for Windows Subsystem for Android, which let Windows 11 devices run Android apps from the Amazon Appstore. The product was deprecated and removed from the Microsoft Store in March 2025, so this repo is no longer actively maintained.

## Use cases
- run android apps on windows 11
- test android app on windows
- sideload android apps on windows
- find wsa developer documentation
- report wsa bugs

## When to choose
- you need historical WSA documentation or archived issue history
- you still run an existing WSA installation and need reference material

## When to avoid
- you want to run Android apps on Windows today - the product is discontinued
- you need an actively maintained Android-on-Windows solution
- you want end-user support for the Amazon Appstore

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: developer-tools, sdk
- domain: developer-tools, windows, mobile-development
- platform: windows
- tags: android-emulation, microsoft, issue-tracker, deprecated, windows-subsystem-for-android, android
