Magisk on WSA is a tool that integrates Magisk root access and Google Apps into Windows Subsystem for Android.
The tool automates the process of building a customized WSA image by combining Magisk, Google Apps, and the base Android system. It handles dependency installation automatically through a shell script, supports both ARM64 and x64 architectures, and offers options for different Google Apps packages including MindTheGapps. The build process runs on Linux systems and produces a ready-to-install WSA image that can be deployed on Windows 11.
Developers working on Windows 11 who need root access within Android or want Google Play Services should consider this tool. It suits anyone who wants a streamlined alternative to manual WSA modification. The project recommends Ubuntu, Debian, or openSUSE Tumbleweed as build environments, with WSL2 support available for running these on Windows. The tool removes the Amazon Appstore by default, fixes VPN dialog visibility issues, and includes device administration features. It also handles language packs and can update existing installations while preserving user data.
Development activity shows consistent maintenance with regular updates to keep builds current. The project includes safeguards against misuse of GitHub Actions in forks to prevent upstream repository disruption. Documentation is straightforward with both automated setup and manual text-based guidance provided. The codebase is primarily shell-based, reflecting the automation-focused nature of the build process.
