After launching a limited App Runtime for Chrome (ARC) back in September Now Google is expanding its beta project to allow Android apps to run on Windows, OS X, and Linux. It’s an early experiment designed primarily for developers, but anyone can now download an APK of an existing Android app and launch it on a Windows / Linux PC, Mac, or Chrome OS through ARC welder.

In short, developers need three things to Run the Android apps :

  • An APK of the application they wish to test
  • A PC, Mac or Chromebook running Chrome v40 or later
  • The ARC Welder app from the Chrome Web Store
