The application project android της Microsoft για τα Windows 10 αναφέρεται με το κωδικό όνομα “Latte” και όπως φαίνεται θα χρησιμοποιεί το Windows Subsystem for Linux as a level of compatibility.
Above Windows Subsystem for Linux, η Microsoft σχεδιάζει να χρησιμοποιήσει ένα android subsystem to enable native support for Android apps.
Windows Subsystem for Linux is required to run executable Linux natively on Windows 10. Microsoft in Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 has enabled a true Linux kernel on Windows 10 to facilitate the experience for Linux systems / applications and, apparently, Android .
Android app support on Windows 10 is likely to arrive in the second half of 2021 as part of the big upgrade windows 10 21h2.
The Project Latte will allow developers to convert Android applications to MSIX format, which is a package-only format for Windows.
As you may already know, anyone can download the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) code and create their own version of Android or use it as a basis for their own services or platforms.
In this case, Microsoft plans to use the Android subsystem and Android Runtime to translate the bytecode of each application into native Windows 10 applications.
Developers will be able to submit their converted MSIX package to the Microsoft Store, but there's a catch – converted apps won't support Google services.
Google services are very convenient, but most apps don't need to use them. The Android subsystem is sufficient to run all independent applications and cell phones API της Google και η Microsoft ενδέχεται να επιτρέπει στους προγραμματιστές να αντικαταστήσουν τις Google Maps, Gmail, Calendar και άλλες με τις δικές της εφαρμογές, όπως τις Windows Maps και Outlook.
If Microsoft's top leadership approves the project, the Windows Store will soon have Android apps alongside UWP and PWA.
