We have known for some time that Google has been working on a method to run Android applications in Chrome OS - a project that is in progress and called ARC or App Runtime for Chrome. Besides, I reported you late morning that Google had finally paved the way for porting an Android application to Chrome OS to anyone.
Now the environmental capabilities are configured to be expanded significantly since the developers of the program have given the green light to run their applications on CRA.
In addition, Google has expanded the scope of ARC to any desktop OS on the market, as these have the Chrome browser, according to a news published by Ars Technica. This feature has already been hacked in an earlier version, but the official media suggests that the project has enormous potential.
For the user, this means you could run any Android application that has been specially packaged to your computer, be it Windows, Mac or Linux. In other words, this would allow you to have a large number of applications available, and would be a huge benefit for developers, who can provide a quick and easy way to bring their Android content to a wide range of devices.
The future development?
The biggest change in this latest update is support for Google Play services. Previously, many applications have been blocked after being packaged, since they were based on limited API Google. Now, many more applications are configured to be compatible with ARC.
CRA may change the approach in development, where an application could easily brought to an operating system, no matter if it was dedicated to a particular OS. Anyway, this could be a blow for iOS, which, as expected, is absent from the list of operating systems supported by ARC.
Developers can take part in the preview ARC ARC Welder by downloading the application on this page.
