Slightly off topic but Blackberry also has a suite of Android tools where you basically repackage an .apk as a .bar and it magically works via on device Android emulation. I've used it previously and it worked well overall. --stephen On Fri, Aug 7, 2015 at 9:08 AM, Joaquin Oltra Hernandez < jh

I've just received access to the beta of the Windows Android Bridge[1], which will supposedly allow Android apps to run on Windows 10 Mobile with very little modification. In fact, most of the bridge functionality has to do with providing interop functions that replace Google Play services, which w

My understanding is: in part, although people who were on the mobile team during the most active part of these projects are probably best situated to speak to it. There's also this page that has some historical information: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Wikipedia/Hybrid_notes -Ada
