What’s new in Android apps for Chrome OS
summary
Chromebooks hit 17% of US notebook sales in Q4 and Android apps already run inside a container with the full Play Store; developers report real wins (Evernote users on Pixelbook spend 4x longer, Squid gets 21% of recent revenue). New capabilities include tablet mode and split screen, picture-in-picture, Android keyboard, MIDI/multichannel audio, Vulkan support, responsive ConstraintLayout transitions for resize, menu accelerators and shelf integration, careful multi‑display APIs, and zero-latency ink with prediction. Tooling ships: Chrome OS Emulator, ADB debugging over USB and a Linux VM running Android Studio that pushes and debugs on-device successfully.
