InstallingARCWelderonYourSystem
Youwillfind
ARC Welder in the Chrome Web Store. Click the “Install” button to get started. Click “Add” to install the ARC Welder into your Chrome apps.
Once the Arc Welder app is added, you will have to find some APKs to run. There are a lot places from which you can download APK files. Try searching for specific apps along with “APK”.
When you’ve found some, open Chrome, your Chrome Apps, and then start ARC Welder.
When you first run it, you’ll need to select a directory the APK can be written to. Click “Choose” and then either select an existing location or create a new one.
Next, it’s time to load your first APK. Click “Add your APK” to begin.
Navigate to the folder where you saved your APK files and select one. Now you’ll be presented with quite a few options, such as how you want the orientation, any metadata you want to add, etc.
Don’t worry if you don’t want to mess with any of this, just leave all of it to the defaults and click “Launch App”.
Most of these options are self-explanatory. For the purposes of just trying stuff out, we don’t need to mess with any of it.
Chances are quite good that many of the APKs you try to load will not work. We tried to load Facebook and Google Play, but both seemed to hang. We gave Flappy Birds a shot for old times’ sake, but it crashed.
Twitter worked, however, as did Instagram, and a few others.
It’s kind of nice being able to use the Instagram app (versus the horrible website) on a regular computer.
If you load an Android app in Chrome, it will be available to load directly as a Chrome app from thereon. No need to load it through ARC Welder.
After successfully loading Twitter, it is available to use as a Twitter client.
You can, however, only test one Android app at a time. The next time you load an APK from ARC Welder, it will remove the previous app.
Nevertheless, it’s interesting to be able to load Android apps, not simply on Chrome OS, which seems a more natural fit, but on Windows, OS X, or any other system with the Chrome browser on it.
