WSA Sideloader refers to a tool or method used to sideload (install unofficially or without using the official app store) Android applications on Windows devices running Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA). It typically involves bypassing the usual restrictions to install APKs (Android application packages) directly onto the Windows device, enabling users to run Android apps not available through the Microsoft Store or WSA directly.
