Perhaps you’re interested in seeing what the other side has to offer, or maybe you’re a developer who wants to dabble in both iOS and Android. Why on Earth would someone what to run Android apps when they probably have an iPhone or iPad? Well, there are still a lot of people who haven’t embraced iOS, and Android just happens to be the most popular mobile operating system on the planet. Today I’m going to take the cross-platform fun one step further, by showing you how to run Android apps on your Chromebook or right on your macOS loaded Mac. Maybe Google will also include Chrome extensions and Themes into their Google Play Store offerings, effectively replacing the -by now oldish and somewhat neglected- Chrome Web Store.A while back I showed readers of the Rocket Yard how to take an old MacBook and repurpose it as a Chromebook - a computer that runs Google Chrome as a web-based operating system. They found some text strings and coding already in place that surely supports this new Google Play Store compatibility: Ĭhoose from over a million apps and games on Google Play to install and use on your $1Chromebook. The only information emerging on the Internet at this time comes from some power users that got curious over this new development and started peeking and poking inside Chrome OS code.
Surely Google will unveil some details on GOOGLE I/O event this year. When will Android apps run on Windows, MAC OS and Linux ?
Some users at reddit are discussing this partially hidden, still “under construction” new feature, included in Google’s latest Chrome OS release for chromebooks. They closely worked with a few selected Android developers, allowing for a handful of selected apps to emerge on their Chrome Web Store, as some kind of “proof of concept”. Some time ago Google started a project called “ App Runtime for Chrome” ( ARC).
