Hello,
out of the US, this function is still not officially supported.
But from the reports of our users, nobody confirmed that it works flawlessly.
We have plans to look at the possibilities when this feature becomes officially (and widely) supported.
Regards,


Zdenek, Locus team

Hello,

It's available in France now as well. Seems to work just fine, except I can't connect to my Gold Suscription. Only the "Email" button is available, not the "Google" one. When I try the "Email" button and type my email, it says that email is attached to a Google account and I should use the "Google" button instead.

See the screenshots :

Did you install it from the play store, or via apk

Via APK.

Sadly, MagiskOnWSA has been disabled on GitHub, so there is no longer a way (known to me) to install the Play Store on WSA.

Would anyone care to point me to a reference for getting the LM4 APK file to sideload? I've been attempting this procedure https://www.androidsage.com/2021/10/21/how-to-sideload-android-apps-on-windows-11-download-windows-subsystem-for-android/. I think I have windows-subsystem-for-android installed but now stuck at the step of Manage developer settings > Wireless Debugging: won't enable.

Just in case, while original Magisk repo was disabled, it is currently available under a different name of the same account. They moved it due to abuse of GitHub actions apparently.
