The Chrome APK Packager will automatically create the Chrome extension package in the form of a Zip file and store it in the SDcard under the ChromeAPK folder.Īfter the packaging is done, you can transfer the Zip file to the PC and unpack-it to load it as an unpacked extension in the Chrome browser.

Within a few days, a developer tweaked the native Android runtime for Chrome (ARC) and released the ARChon Custom Runtime which makes almost any Android app to run in the Chrome browser on any Operating System that supports Chrome.ĪRChon Custom Runtime seemed to be very interesting to us, and started to use it on our desktops. Google had made only a few apps available in the Chrome web store. As we all know, Google has started rolling out some of the Android apps to the Chrome Web store which allows you to run Android apps on Chromebook based on Chrome OS.
