Google's developer conference is underway and a bunch of interesting
things have already been been introduced. However, a slip-up in one of
I/O's session descriptions has let out that Google will introduce
Android app and Google Play support to Chrome OS.
The session
description indicates clearly that Google is holding a session where all
the developers will be able to test apps on the Chrome OS. In April,
some Chome OS v51 users reported
seeing setting and a pop-up window that pointed to upcoming Android app
support and Google Play access, creating noise that Google will make
this official soon.
Now, the description further attests to these
claims. The schedule summary was first spotted by 9to5Google on the
Google I/O website, and it reads, "Today we announced that we're adding
the best mobile app experiences in the world, Android apps and the
Google Play store, to the best browser in the world, Chrome! Come to
this session and test your Android apps for Chrome OS. You will get
hands on help from our friendly engineers on how to optimise your
Android app for Chromebooks. Oh, and we will also be giving the first 50
developers to show up a free Chromebook so they can get a head start
bringing their apps to Chrome!"
The summary has since then been
updated to remove these details, but we expect
Google to make the
announcement soon. So far, Google has unveiled two new apps -
Allo and
Duo - for Android and iOS users. The two apps have unique features and
are due to release this summer. In-line with previous reports, the
search giant also unveiled
Google Home, a voice-based home activation
device. Other products like
Google Assistant and
Daydream VR system have
also been introduced so far.
