Recently, Microsoft removed WSATools from the Microsoft Store, which is an APK installer for the Android subsystem of Windows 11. Microsoft did not give a clear removal reason. WSATools developer Simone Franco was later contacted by Microsoft to solve this problem. Now Franco has finally revealed the reason for the removal of WSATools, which sounds trivial.
Franco wrote that the first problem is because the application is based on WSA (Windows Android Subsystem), but the developer did not make this clear in the earliest dependency list. This problem is clearly stated in the list for WSA The dependence is easily resolved.
The second problem is that the application has not passed Microsoft’s automatic certification process. Franco said: As far as I know, WSATools carried out such an automatic authentication check the day after the 0.1.56 update was pushed, and it was taken off the shelf.

The last question is related to the name. Microsoft feels that the naming of WSATools may seem to be an official Microsoft tool. Franco wrote: “WSATools has…WSA. Microsoft doesn’t like this. Even though’WSA’ is not a trademark, I understand why they do it. They don’t want this application to be considered or misunderstood as official.” Microsoft It is recommended to either change the name or fully explain in the list that the application has nothing to do with Microsoft.
Franco believes that once these problems are corrected, the application will be re-launched, and the application is currently available for download through a private chain.
