WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
The primary difference is when devs upload AABs, the AAB is split by the Play Store into multiple APKs for your specific device based on language, resources and ABI (bundletool handles this). So a user will usually receive multiple smaller APKs when a dev uploads an AAB. AABs are required for new apps as of Aug 2021 (source).
You could try seeing what Google Play serves you if you're on WSA. WSA doesn't ship with Google Play by default, obviously, but it's not too difficult to integrate it. I haven't added Google Play to my PC's WSA build yet, though, which is why I tried the Android Studio emulator first.
Good option, yes! Maybe something like Aurora Store could also be used to spoof a different (x86) device? https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore
