While the Amazon Appstore route is the recommended method by Microsoft, it requires certain criteria such as being enrolled into the Insiders program and having an Amazon US account. In the current testing phase, about 50 Android apps are being made available via the Amazon Appstore on Windows 11 with more slated to arrive in the coming days. However, given that Microsoft cannot use Google Mobile Services (GMS), WSA is based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and leverages Amazon's Appstore to deliver apps that don't rely on GMS. They can make use of native Windows 11 notifications, new window controls including Snap, and other platform-specific features. With WSA, Android apps get a first-class experience on Windows 11.
That being said, WSA can be run on AMD and Qualcomm-based Windows-on-ARM devices as well. This is made possible via Intel's Bridge Technology, a runtime post-compiler that allows ARM code to run on x86 processors. The WSA layer enables on-the-fly translation between Android and Windows calls. Just like the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) 2, the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) is a virtual machine running in Hyper-V that enables users to run Android binaries on Windows 11.
