Runing android apps on Linux (Debian Testing)

jt1122 · 03-23-2023, 05:57 AM

Hi,

I'm using anbox (anbox/now 0.0~git20211020-3) and it runs some android apps but it's terribly fragile.
Sometimes apps get stuck on the splash screen, sometime they hang, etc.

Also Anbox seems to be defunt.

Is there a more robust way of running Android apps now on linux, other than installing the entrie Google's developer package.

Thanks

apt search android emulator

Add we know it's google like actual chrome on Linux right,,, e.g: https://packages.debian.org/sid/goog...ator-installer

I have the same issue and can't seem to find a solution anywhere.
