Use WSA PacMan to sideload your favorite Android apps

The WSATools software was released specifically for this very purpose, but now there is a new open-source option out there if you’re interested. WSA PacMan is a delightfully accessible tool that makes it easy to sideload apps without the need to battle with ADB commands. The developer describes the app as a GUI package manager and package installer for Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA). WSA PacMan currently provides a double-click GUI installer for .apk files that shows app information (package, icon, version, and permissions), and also allows normal installations as well as upgrades and downgrades. The app additionally provides a button to open Android settings and one to open the Manage Applications Android settings page, from which you can uninstall or disable applications and grant or revoke permissions If you also want to get your hands on this software and take it out for a test drive, all you have to do is go and download the latest build of WSA PacMan from its GitHub repository.
