Full support for Android apps in Windows 10 may appear later this year

After Microsoft canceled the so-called Astoria project, the company began to look for other options for implementing support for Android applications in Windows 10. Microsoft moved farthest in this regard with Samsung – but “streaming” of programs launched on a smartphone through “My Phone” looks like at best, only a half measure. Therefore, the company decided to go the other way.

The idea promoted by the Latte project is to allow the developer of Android applications to “package” their programs and games in the proprietary MSIX installer format. The project is reportedly powered by the Windows Subsystem for Linux and primarily includes the placement of Android applications in the Windows Store directory. That is, you will not be able to run the APK directly on Windows 10. According to the source, the Latte project will finally allow Microsoft to bridge the gap in the number of applications for Windows and Android.

It is not yet clear when we will see the real implementation of the Latte project in custom Windows 10, but at best, full support for Android applications in Microsoft OS will appear at the end of this year.
