Android "simulator" for Win10/W10M. Draft / Sketch only

AstoriaUWP 0.0.0.8

Forked from: https://github.com/Ticomware/AstoriaUWP

Abstract

"Project Astoria" remake (UWP)

Screenshots

My actions (my 2 cents)

• Some WIKI data added.
• Quick R.E. (only some try...catch added to avoid accident app halts... and nothing more)
• DEX 7 detected (see Images/uc83.apk sample that can't de-dexed).

Description

"Astoria for Universal Windows Platform" (AstoriaUWP) is an APK interpreter for the Universal Windows Platform. This program attempts to interpret an Android .APK file and runs it inside a UWP wrapper.

Important Note: This project was created as a proof-of-concept over a short amount of time. The code may not be perfect. 100500 bugs/uncompleted deals still there. It exists for demonstration and educational purposes. Feel free to fork this project... and to do your own "engeneer journey"!

Coding "workbench"

• Visual Studio 2022 (But VS 2017 compatibility remained, for Live WinPhone debugging, heh!)
• Windows SDK 19041 + 15063 installed (for W10M compatibility).
• x64 and ARM targets used

Test scenario

• Place Images/helloworld1.apk at Pictures folder at your PC/WinPhone

• Run AstoriaUWP, and click "Pick folder&file (experimental)". Then find and choose helloworld1.apk and try to open this apk file.

• After loading phase, click "Install app" button.

• After installing phase, click "Apps list" button.

• Go to App Storage, find Layout folder.

• Try to run Emulator by tapping on "Hello world" item at apps list

In result, the phrase "Layout not found" must be appeared on Emu screen... or, maybe, "testbox" on right bottom corner :)

My fork based on Ticomware's (AstoriaUWP)[https://github.com/Ticomware/AstoriaUWP] solution.

AstoriaUWP also used some code from the following projects:

• https://source.android.com/ Android Open Source Project
• https://github.com/tbaron/androidxmldotnet Android Xml .net
• https://github.com/mariokmk/dex.net DEX.net

Contribute!

There's still a TON of things missing from this proof-of-concept (MVP) and areas of improvement. Help wanted. Feel free to PR your improvements for this experimental soft!
