WSAGAScript is a set of shell scripts that add Google apps, including the Google Play Store, to Windows Subsystem for Android. Windows Subsystem for Android is a feature in Windows 11 that lets the operating system run Android apps directly. However, Microsoft's version does not include Google's services by default, which means Android apps that depend on the Play Store or Google's background services will not work. These scripts patch the WSA installation package to include those missing pieces before you install it. The process is more involved than a typical software install. Because the tools needed to modify an Android system image only run on Linux, the scripts require you to first enable Windows Subsystem for Linux version 2 and install Ubuntu inside it. From there, you download the WSA installation package directly from Microsoft (bypassing the Store to get the raw file), extract it with a tool like 7-Zip, and then run the provided Linux scripts from within the Ubuntu terminal. The scripts modify the Android image files and then you reinstall WSA from the patched package. The README walks through each step in detail, covering WSL2 installation, required Linux utilities, folder setup, where to download the WSA package, and how to run the modification scripts. A video tutorial was provided as a companion resource for the written instructions. There is also an optional step for gaining root access on the WSA installation, which allows deeper modification of the Android environment. The authors include a legal warning noting that installing Google services this way may be in a legal gray area, since it involves redistributing Google's software outside the normal licensed channel. The project is provided as-is under an Unlicense license. It was created during a period of active community interest in running Android apps on Windows 11 before Google officially partnered with Microsoft.
