    And/but one may still prefer to build his own versions locally via MagiskOnWSALocal. And in the case of the WSA Preview builds which this project can't access on it's own*, MustardChef/WSAPackages shares these too.
  • Microsoft just made it easier to get the most out of Android apps on Windows 11

    It isn't. It's essentially rooting and flashing gapps onto the WSA "ROM" https://github.com/LSPosed/MagiskOnWSALocal

    But a more trouble-free way is to use MindTheGapps by repacking your own WSA via LSPosed/MagiskOnWSALocal.

    So, stick to LSPosed/MagiskOnWSALocal and build your own WSA with GApps etc with it's easy to use script. You can use WSL2 to make these WSA builds (as in, just go install Ubuntu from MS Store or something). No need to trust someone's personal project.
  • Make WSA (Windows Subsystem for Android) Run on Windows 10

    I was reading the linked repo in step 2 <https://github.com/LSPosed/MagiskOnWSALocal#magisk-on-wsa-wi...> and saw this message, which seems like utter nonsense:

    > For fork developers: Please don't build using GitHub Actions, as GitHub will count your forked GitHub Actions usage against this upstream repository, which may cause this upstream repository gets disabled by GitHub staff like MagiskOnWSA because of numerous forks building GitHub Actions, and counting the forks' Action usage against this upstream repository.

    is that even remotely true?

    If there's any "disabled by GitHub staff" going on, it's likely due to DMCA nonsense, not due to forks having their GitHub Actions billed against the upstream repo. Related to that, I'm surprised to see the submitted repo distribute icu.dll and winhttp.dll, versus telling interested parties to extract them out of the Win11 ISO. I bet Microsoft won't bother striking the repo over to random dlls but why roll the dice?

    Anyway, if you need to install & run the Android apps & games that rely on Google Play Games, do give this project a try: https://github.com/LSPosed/MagiskOnWSALocal. It's likely that you'll need to hide certain stuff from these apps/games btw and the official Magisk won't help you much (if any) in that case so ask again if your thing complains about that for an up to date answer by then (but then again, you're talking about PUBGay of all games so you may fail to achieve what you want anyway).
