Easily sideload Android apps on Windows Subsystem for Android

Hi there 👋

I'm a computer science graduate with a passion for creating software. Some of my work includes SubManager, a subscription manager app for Apple platforms as well as open source projects such as WSA Sideloader, the popular APK installer for Windows Subsystem for Android. I also contribute to other projects from time to time.

If you like my work, do consider buying me a coffee. All donations are greatly appreciated ❤️

[BUG] APK install failure due to & in filename

Describe the bug

Attempting to download and install IFTTT software to work on some home automation.
Platform: Windows 11
I have four other Android Apps with IOT devices controlling fine so this is app specific.

Figured I would make a posting to see if this helps. The output is a bit lighton debug / logs / enabling higher log level

Source for APK

Error

Unable to install the application. Please check ...blah blah..

[Error Info]
Performing streamed install
operable program or batch file.

Questions:

1. within WSA-Sideloader -> can we run this via Powershell and set / increase logging from build and container?
2. Has anyone else tried IFTTT and can provide feedback on there experience

I perused the "developer options" such as Select Debug App but .. no Debug App set and no means to set.

Steps to reproduce

1. Launch WSA Sideloader
2. Select IFTTT - automation & workflow_4.38.3_Apkpure.apk
3. Install
4. Get error
5. reach for coffee

Expected behavior

App loads.. move on to next yak in line to shave.

Native ARM build

Python 3.11 will be releasing later this year and they have started including installers and embeddable packages for Windows ARM64. I've been thinking of offering a native ARM build of WSA Sideloader. Most likely I will offer it as an experimental, available only via GitHub releases. And I'll see from there how it works out before making it official and offering it on MS Store as well.

I don't have a Windows ARM device so not sure yet how I'll be able to manage. Let me know your thoughts.

[BUG] Device offline

Describe the bug

When opening WSA with Gapps, it is unable to connect to port 127.0.0.1:58526 and says adb.exe: device offline, while installing Nova Launcher that worked before this change.

Steps to reproduce

Follow WSAGAScript/README.md on GitHub, and install Nova Launcher 8.0.3 beta (arm64-v8a + arm-v7a) (Android 8.0+) from APKMirror. (first link)

Expected behaviour

It should've just installed it, but it outputted the following error:

[BUG] IP address error

Describe the bug

when the app auto detects the ip, it isn't using the right one, instead of using the IP of the computer it should be using 127.0.number number or smth like that with the port, and the dev option in the subsystem app needs to be enabled rather than dev in system settings.

Steps to reproduce

simply trying to install something

should work rather then refusing to connect (bc of wrong IP)

[REQUEST]accessibility with screen readers

Describe your request

Good morning
Unfortunately, blind users cannot use this tool
Because the tool does not support accessibility with screen readers
The graphical interface of the tool is designed with PySimpleGUI
This library does not provide any accessibility support with screen readers
Can you create another version of the GUI based on wxpython
It offers full accessibility support with screen readers
Thanks
