New in WSA Sideloader 1.3.13 (May 19, 2023)
- This update fixes an issue where APK files with certain characters in the filename may fail to install. (#69)
New in WSA Sideloader 1.3.12 (Mar 16, 2023)
- Updated the way ADB authorizations are handled.
- Updated the WSA autostart mechanism.
- Fixed a bug in the x64 installer where if install for all users is selected, it would install to the Program Files (x86) folder by default if installed on an ARM64 device.
New in WSA Sideloader 1.3.11 (Feb 11, 2023)
- This update removes the Windows 11 restriction from the installer.
- Thanks to the work of the community getting WSA running on Windows 10, WSA Sideloader can now be used on Windows 10.
- I however cannot guarantee this will work properly since WSA on Windows 10 is not supported by Microsoft, but I have tested it with WSA 2301.40000.4.0 from WSABuilds on Windows 10 22H2 (Build 19045.2546) and it seems to be working. If WSA can accept ADB commands correctly, then I believe WSA Sideloader should work just fine.
- This restriction will only be lifted for the downloadable EXE release from GitHub, as well as winget. MS Store version will continue to be limited to Windows 11 only, and thus will not be getting this update and will remain on 1.3.10.
New in WSA Sideloader 1.3.10 (Feb 8, 2023)
- This update includes a button to open WSA Settings to enable developer mode, as well as some bug fixes.
