In practice, the Google Play Services dependencies and other walled-garden initiatives from Google will make this less useful than it could otherwise be. But still, this is really cool.

Handy for Minecraft players on Mac: windows players may be on Java or on bedrock versions, but mobile and console players are all only on bedrock. Being able to run the Android version on Mac means I can play with local console players or join a bedrock realm.

(There are compatibility workarounds if you run your own server but I don’t want the headache of doing so).

Perhaps one day Mojang will enable Macos users to run the iPad (bedrock) version of Minecraft as well..

This is very cool! Next IOS.apk? ;)

Crazy I was the first to star on GitHub. I’m going to give this a try for some tinkering projects.

Reminds me of Google vs. Oracle lawsuit for API fair use.

People take the iOS version of Fortnite and repackage it to run on Mac.

Arguably not a bad use of a claude subscription, provided that it actually works.

This is awesome, now this needs to work on Windows

No app sandboxing? User files and settings stored in the /Applications/ folder, rather than the User’s home folder?

Couple issues with this right off the bat:

- Seemingly relies on the Java virtual machine for simulation -- no support for native ARM binaries?

- Stores data inside the .app
