Running Android Apps on a Chromebook or the Chrome Web Browser on Mac or PC
However, you may not want to for some very good reasons that I’ll divulge further on in this post. Whatever the reason, you can run Android apps on your MacBook-turned-Chromebook or on the Mac itself. Some people may want to be able to play Android games on their Macs or PCs, just because they’re plugged in and have “infinite” battery life. Perhaps you’re interested in seeing what the other side has to offer, or maybe you’re a developer who wants to dabble in both iOS and Android. Why on Earth would someone what to run Android apps when they probably have an iPhone or iPad? Well, there are still a lot of people who haven’t embraced iOS, and Android just happens to be the most popular mobile operating system on the planet. Today I’m going to take the cross-platform fun one step further, by showing you how to run Android apps on your Chromebook or right on your macOS loaded Mac. A while back I showed readers of the Rocket Yard how to take an old MacBook and repurpose it as a Chromebook - a computer that runs Google Chrome as a web-based operating system.
