Brian P. Rubin says, “On Wednesday, Google opened the beta of its latest developer tool—the App Runtime for Chrome, or ARC—to anyone on any computer running the latest version of the Chrome browser. With the ARC Welder app installed in your browser, you can theoretically run any Android app in a virtual environment without having to use any actual Android devices. Better yet, ARC Welder makes porting an Android app into a Chrome app ridiculously simple.

In theory, ARC should also let anyone run an Android app install file (typically referred to as APKs because of their .apk file extensions) right on their PCs or Macs. In practice, however, that’s just not the case—at least not yet”.
