Description of the new feature / enhancement

Windows 11 supports windows subsystem for android now. I hope that we can install apk with winget.

Proposed technical implementation details

Firstly, download apk from the download link provided in manifest.
Secondly, use adb (bundled with winget package) to install this apk.

Tangentially related, but does anyone know if there's a way to install APKs on the subsystem without ADB right now?

sideload a browser and then download through the browser whatever apk you want, should be able to install through the file manager using the android package manager

I think via some filesystem hacks it is.

@Trenly This issue deserves a pull request, it is relatively easy to implement:

  1. Windows Subsystem for Android is installed
  2. ADB must be installed on the machine
  3. It must connect to the Subsystem, bypassing the developer mode restriction, which I think the uninstallation in control panel already has.

A nice feature in the manifest would be for adding the adb install flags that allow for stuff like test apps to be installed.

@oxygen-dioxide, why #1625 (comment)?

@oxygen-dioxide, why #1625 (comment)?

Because WSA isn't supported by Microsoft anymore. Besides, even if WSA is still in support, I don't think it is a good idea to manage APKs in the same tool that manages windows applications now. It would be better to have another tool to manage Android apps.
