Windows 10 Mobile will not run Android apps. The Project Astoria was discontinued.
There are some good reasons for it too.
- It reqiuired an Android subsystem within Windows devices which caused a lot of battery issues and performance downgrade
- These apps did not have native features such as Tiles, Interactive notifications, etc...
- The parallel project of porting iOS apps proved to be much better.
- The problem of pirate apps became real.
- Some developers began to think that creating apps for Android is enough as Windows can run apps.
Now imagine a lot of apps running just as in Android without Live tiles, Cortanan integration, Onedrive backups, Interactive notifications, etc... It would be the death of Windows Mobile.
