In Play Store some apps show as not installable that seem to work fine when sideloaded (x64 vs AMD64 compatibility issue?) #216

Windows 11 21H2 OS Build 22000.675 x64 WSA version 2204.40000.15.0

I included the fixes from issue #213 when patching WSA.

I installed a few games I play on my phone. The following three I tried did not show up as compatible in Play Store:

I sideloaded these games using APKMirror to grab the AMD64 versions. For some reason Pocket Camp isn't on APIKMirror (as an aside, anyone know why?) so I had to grab it from a shadier site. I grabbed three and verified they were all the same before sideloading.

SMR and FEH work without issue (at least, I can download their OBB data and get to their main screens; I haven't tried to do too much with them so far). ACPC I can almost get in-game but Googling the error code I get suggests it just isn't happy with being sideloaded and wants to be installed from Play Store. (Do we have root for 2204 yet? Maybe I can try using Titanium Backup to mark the app as being installed from the Play Store, I think it can do that (does it work?). For now I can't really check that though.)

So I am not an expert on such things but I think build .prop is used to determine app compatibility, right? So maybe something can be done there to get Play Store to install AMD64 versions of apps if there is no x64 compatibility?

Root is indeed available. Most WSA modding happens at https://github.com/LSPosed/MagiskOnWSA these days
