The first band of apps incoming are Duolingo , Evernote , Sight Words , and Vine , andGoogle saysthey’ll be operate with select Android devs to add more in the coming month .
These new apps are part of the Chrome project App Runtime for Chrome ( Beta ) . All these apps , except for maybe Sight wrangle , are heavy hitters to be certain , but they also have dedicate , well - built websites , which means Chrome OS user kind of had access to them already via their browsers . Flipboard was also show back in June , so we can only run through that its incoming .
Android is try on to eliminate the need for the Chromebook crowd and app developers to port any apps or service that are missing from the Chrome WWW Store . AsArs Technicapoints out , the Android Runtime projection allows for Android apps to run in Chrome just as any other Chrome app , meaning no modifying or porting is required . Of course , developers can optimise for the program if they choose . It ’s meant to be a no - cephalalgia plan of attack to expanding the Chrome OS store for both users and developer . Also , if you have a best-loved app you ’d care to be consider from a Chrome makeover , you canjust secernate Google directly .
During the project ’s announcement , Pichai say that App Runtime was “ working on fetch our experiences across both Android and Chrome . ” These four young apps are a coup d’oeil at that hope . [ GoogleviaArs Technica ]
