Windows 11: Quickly sideload Android apps with WSATools
WSATools is a non-Microsoft application that makes it easy to sideload Android apps outside of the Amazon Appstore on Windows 11. Although Microsoft has released its first preview of the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) to run Android apps on Windows 11, you are limited to installing apps from the Amazon Appstore. A decision that didn't sit entirely well with many users, as the store doesn't provide the same apps that are available on the Google Play Store.
Alternatively, it is possible to sideload Android apps on Windows 11, but that requires additional steps and commands that not many users are comfortable performing. However, the WSATools app (developed by @Simizfo) aims to be an app that makes sideloading apps easier without the need for complicated commands or additional installations like the ADB tools.
The only limitation is that you can install any app from any source, as long as the app does not require Google Play Services, which are not currently supported in the Windows Subsystem for Android. However, you can get around this limitation by using these instructions.
