- wingmanjd 5y agoDoesn't the Microsoft Android support require an Amazon account, though?
- theunspoken 5y agoyes and no. first of all: which services does Amazon provide that would make an app dependent on them in the same way it might be on Google services? does Amazon have its own system for push notifications? for weather data? for syncing contacts? secondly: it has been confirmed that Android apps will be able to be sideloaded. a Microsoft employee tweeted about it but I can't really find the post right now
- commoner 5y ago> does Amazon have its own system for push notifications? Yes, but only for Amazon (Fire) devices. Amazon Device Messaging handles push notifications to Amazon devices: https://developer.amazon.com/docs/adm/faq-adm.html https://developer.amazon.com/docs/adm/faq-adm.html Microsoft might implement Amazon Device Messaging in Windows 11. > secondly: it has been confirmed that Android apps will be able to be sideloaded. a Microsoft employee tweeted about it but I can't really find the post right now Here: https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/25/22550689/windows-11-android-app-sideload-amazon-app-store https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/25/22550689/windows-11-andro...
- Popegaf 5y agoI hope so, but at the same time, which app developer is going to target compatibility with the windows desktop when writing an app? Also, how will/do apps that depend on Google Services work (or not)? Is there some shim or something?
