Google has issued a tool that lets Android apps run on any machine, making easier for developers to get code working that can run its Chrome browser. This tool is named Arc Welder, acting as a wrapper around Android apps so they can run on Windows, OSX and Linux machines.

However, “it was better to write apps that run "natively" rather than via separate software.Android apps to continue on Windows, Macs and Lin,” said one developer. "According to Digital Marketing Agency, with just one app in lots of different operating systems will be potentially attractive

Sam Furr, director and co-founder of development studio The App Developers said, “moving away from those well-known development systems can mean losing some behaviours, such as touch combinations, that people expect. He also wondered if a converted app running via a browser sitting in a separate operating system would be as fast as one developed natively.”
