# WSATools

## Easy-to-use APK installer (and more!) for Windows Subsystem for Android



![The app details and installation page](https://github.com/Simizfo/WSATools/raw/main/Media/app_details_2.png)



WSATools is a simple APK installer for Windows 11's Subsystem for Android, designed to be intuitive and to make the user instantly feel at home.

It also features other helpful tools, like the ability to make and restore backups!



## Features



- Explorer integration for APK files: double click and press install!

- APK installation made easy: just a click away.

- No need to install ADB and know its commands. WSATools takes care of everything!

- APK Bundles Support

- If you already have the platform-tools package in your path, it will use that one!

- Backup and Restore your Subsystem apps and data

- More features coming soon!



## Requisites



⚠️ These requisites are **obligatory**! WSATools **won't work** without them. ⚠️



- Windows 11

- Windows Subsystem for Android app

- Inside it, enable "Developer Mode" and set the Subsystem Resources to "Continuous"



## Installation



You have two choices: 



##### Download from the Microsoft Store

- Download the app from [here](https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9N4P75DXL6FG)



##### Download from Github Releases (*coming soon*)

- Download the package from [here](https://www.github.com/simizfo/wsatools/releases)

- Extract the package and run the Powershell script inside to install the package.



## Bug Reporting



WSATools is developed just by me. I'd be really thankful if you could report any bugs you hit so I can fix them. Put as many details as you can! If you do, you make it easier (and possibly faster) for me to solve them.

If you wish to report a bug, [open an issue here](https://github.com/Simizfo/WSATools/issues/new)



## Source code availability



I'm someone that enjoys having open source software on his computer, so I understand every single one of you asking for the source code. I've seen a lot of cases of apps stolen from Github and republished on the Microsoft Store without permission, so I'll avoid making it public for now. I'll reconsider this at some point of this software's life.



## What's next for WSATools?



- Stability and bugfixing.

## Support me and the app development

If you like my work on WSATools, and you want to support me and the app development, I'd be really grateful, as I work on it on my free time. Feel free to make a donation on my [paypal.me page](https://paypal.me/simizfo) or from inside the app, where I've put a little box at the end of the settings page.



Thanks!
