About Paving-Base/APK-Installer
APK Installer is a Windows application that enables users to install Android APK files directly on Windows devices. Built with C# and WinUI3, the application provides a native Windows experience for managing Android application installation without requiring complex command-line tools or manual ADB configuration.
The application supports installation via Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) and works across multiple processor architectures including ARM64, x86, and x64. It requires Windows 10 Build 17763 or later and approximately 400MB of storage space. Users can install the application through either a PowerShell installation script or by using traditional Windows package installation methods with certificate management and sideloading enabled.
The project includes comprehensive features such as APK file analysis, download management, network discovery via Zeroconf, and ADB client integration for seamless Android device communication. The codebase leverages several established libraries including Windows Community Toolkit, SharpCompress for archive handling, and Advanced Sharp ADB Client for device connectivity. The application is distributed through both GitHub releases and the Microsoft Store.
