Mac.apk

Mac.apk runs Android apps directly on Apple Silicon. Apps launch as ordinary macOS processes, draw through the Mac's GPU, and execute on the CPU at native speed. They appear in your Dock, get their own windows with a back button next to the traffic lights, resize and rotate like any Mac window, and switch between light and dark along with your Mac. Android TV apps work from the keyboard, and game launchers can start your other installed apps.

There is no emulator here, and no virtual machine. Nothing boots Android in the background, there is no Linux kernel running underneath, and nothing is interpreted instruction-by-instruction. Mac.apk implements the Android application environment on top of macOS directly.
