Solution: Apps not installing after Windows Subsystem for Android installation

Raw

wsa_fix_android_app_installs.md

Problem:

Upon trying to install an android app, the 'Retry' message keeps showing

Solution:

Enable "Developer mode" by clicking on Advanced Settings once Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) has booted up.
Click on Manage Developer Settigns just to get WSA to start up .. again
A new prompt to Allow WSA to be recognized by the computer (denoted by RSA fingerprint eg xxxx:xxx) should appear. Click 'Allow'
Try to install the intended android app again and it should install no probs.
Launch your android app. Thats it!

its a shame that WSA is being discontinued in March 2025. Hope Microsoft reconsiders this decision.
