Microsoft is ending support for the Windows Subsystem for Android™️ (WSA). As a result, the Amazon Appstore on Windows and all applications and games dependent on WSA will no longer be supported beginning March 5, 2025. Until then, technical support will remain available to customers.

Customers that have installed the Amazon Appstore or Android apps prior to March 5, 2024, will continue to have access to those apps through the deprecation date of March 5, 2025. Please reach out to our support team for further questions at support.microsoft.com. We are grateful for the support of our developer community and remain committed to listening to feedback as we evolve experiences.

Another half baked product that was never marketed or really explained to users is deprecated. Standard Microsoft behavior.

Very cool as a tech demo. Terrible as a product.

not to mention it was only available in US... but then again the rest of the world doesn't exist anyway, right ?
