Users of an Android based phone know that basically Google Play is their 'default' app store, and Amazon Appstore - what WSA by default comes pre-installed with - is just a 3rd party store. Both stores offer a wide variety of apps that can be downloaded on the device and cater to many of the user requirements. The main difference between both app stores is the fact that at time of this writing Google Play Store offers 3.8 million apps, whereas Amazon Appstore offers only less than a half million apps.
So if you additionally want to have access to Google Play Store from within WSA then you should install a copy of WSA that comes with Google Play supported. That's the reason why I have created this thread.
Legal Warning:
Adding Google Services and Google Play Store to WSA may potentially be in a legal gray area.
Requirement:
Virtualization must be enabled on your Windows 11 PC.
Take note that before you enable Hyper-V in Windows 11, you need to make sure the Hardware Visualization/ Virtual Technology is enabled in UEFI/BIOS - usually it's called Intel VT-X or AMD-V depending upon the brand of CPU in your system. This is because the option to Enable Hyper-V or its submenus will be greyed out once the Hardware Visualization is disabled.
So, let’s see how to enable virtualization on Windows 11 PC:
First, go to Start Menu.
Now search for Turn Windows features on or off & then hit Enter.
After that, enable the Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Hypervisor Platform option & then click OK.
At last, click on Restart now.

How-To Install:
To avoid copy / paste operations please look inside here.
Result:
If WSA got properly set up, then you run Google Play from Windows Start.
When I get to this step, .\adb.exe connect ADDRESS , POWERSHELL fails. adb.exe is not recognized....
If you would carefully read the guide linked to, then you'll not run into any problems.
BTW: As a workaround you could add location ( fullpath name !!! ) of adb.exe to PATH variable of Windows OS.
I know this might be stupid to ask, but is it safe to update subsystem from the windows store? After you've done this much needed hack.... what were they thinking? Amazon? .... Is it safe or do I just live w/ not ever updating it.
i did the following steps, and im oddly able to connect using adb connect 127.0.0.1:58526 but not when i copy and paste the ip, .. idk what im doing wrong. even after i "connect" whenever i use adb shell it says error: device not found
i get error deployment of add -appxpackage. needs microsoft.ui.xaml.2.6.2.nupkg,,,,no idea how to install this
I tried to install this but I think there is some problem with the process.
I was able to install and open Google Play, but nothing happens when I click "Sign in"
I tried opening Gmail and signing in that way too with the same result.
Followed the steps....worked like a charm. Google play store and all apps that require google services are working
Collected all variants of WSA + PlayMarket and magisk.
Installation: unzip the archive and run install.ps
I still hope one day someone smarter than me will explain why simply side-loading Google Play doesn't work on a stock WSA install. In other words, why we can't follow steps similar to Amazon Fire tablet users to side-load Google Play. Well, I should say it technically does work as I initially went that route, but one is unable to sign-in to Google Play.
I followed a different guide than the one listed here, but they are all basically the same result - a custom repackaged WSA that can no longer update via the store... manual updates required (which may or may not be a bad thing).

I have a lot of problems installing wsa on W11. finally, it's ok. Explanation is :
A lot of components were absent after the transition from W10 to W11..
last problem:
WSA is ok in admin account.. (thank you)
but for everyday work, I use a standard account (not admin) and in this account WSA doesn't appear..
is it normal, is there a solution?

Click on This PC from the left pane.
Under the “Devices and drivers” section, double-click the main drive (C).
Click the New menu and select the Folder option.
Name the folder WindowsSubsystemAndroid and press Enter.
Click the New menu and select the Folder option.
Name the folder GAppsWSA and press Enter.
Click the New menu and select the Folder option.
Name the folder ADB and press Enter.
Click the New menu and select the Folder option.

Hope This Works,
Peter

MUST HAVE ROOT... probably...
seems promising
will have to check out Android Commander.
Droid Explorer runs pretty good, a bit laggy at times but it is promising. Hope it is ok to attach this jnlp to go with Droid Explorer in case anyone needs it. It was the only way to get screen cast to work properly. Just un zip, and toss the folder on the desk top. It helps start up the screen cast mode for Droid Explorer, in case anyone has trouble getting the one inside DE to work. Hope this helps.

Source code: https://github.com/gus33000/InteropTools
OP update is still Work in progress
READ BEFORE POSTING ANYTHING
Interop Tools can't be installed, like with a lot of other apps that uses restricted CAPs, if you CAP unlocked your phone using vcREG, vcREG changes 2 registry values that breaks the whole deployment system since one build of the rs1 development, so please reset your phone, use only vcREG to install an older NDTK if needed, and install Interop Tools (h/t @vcfan see your DMs)
Interop Tools doesn't require and will never require any CAP unlock
Please read the installation instructions carefully
Interop Tools versions older than or equal to Beta 1.8.1 are not supported in any way, please update the app
I'm not responsible for any damage made by your device if this ever happens even though I'm really careful each time I'm posting a new version
When submitting a bug report, please specify what apps related to Interop/Cap unlock you have installed, if you did anything, some reproduction steps and the phone model you are using, along with if you cap unlocked your device.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
If you have an IT version older or equal to Beta 1.7 already installed, please uninstall it and reboot your device prior to installing/updating Interop Tools

Q&A
Q: What does "versatile" means?
A: It means that the app will work on every phone. But that doesn't mean it will work the same everywhere.
Q: Will this app work on Windows Phone 8.1?
A: No this is a Windows 10 UWP app, please fall back to using vcREG and CustomPFD for Windows Phone 8.1.
Q: I'm getting an error while installing one of all dependencies, what should I do?
A: Install all the dependencies first then install the one that throws an error. One of them depends on another one.
Q: The app doesn't install
A: Make sure you're installing the correct package for your processor architecture (x86_x64 is usually for PC, your phone is probably an ARM device) and that you installed all dependencies one by one prior to installing the app.
Q: I have a lumia which is not part of the x50 device family but I can't seem to be able to write some registry values.
A: Make sure under interop unlock, "Restore NDTK" is on, if not turn it on, reboot and try again.
Q; The app crashes.
A: Please submit a bug report with full detailed reproduction steps as well as your device model, if you tampered with ndtk before and other details that may help troubleshoot the crash such as the current running build and etc.
Q: What does TNSTSIGNING do?
A: It enables Test Signing on builds prior or equal to 10572. Don't be stupid and don't turn that on on later builds, your phone will most probably go into a boot loop.
Q: Can't install the versions above Beta 1.7
A: Re-read the installation instructions.
Q: How to install android with this app?
A: No you can't.

No this is a Windows 10 UWP app only, sorry. You can fall back to using vcreg and custompfd on wp8.1, or upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile if you wish to use this app.

Did you install all dependencies provided with beta 1.8.1 one by one before installing the main appxbundle? Dependencies changed between 1.7 and 1.8 and you need to reinstall all of them.

Without Microsoft.NET.Native.Framework.Debug.1.3 it will obviously not work. You need to install that, even for 1.9

It will work yes, but some registry values might not be accessible to you. The Interop page, ssh/sftp/cmd, some tweaks will not work for example.

Tutorial
Hi!
There are a a lot of tutorials about installing Andoid Apps stores, etc, etc.
I gonna let you here a way that i found to install Android Apps even if you are not logon in to App Store!
To be able to do this, your computer must meet the following requirements:
Windows 11
At least 8 GB of RAM ( less and you will get some lags)
At least a DUO CORE 3.20GHz CPU
Enabled Virtualization feature
Change Country & Region: U.S. ( You can return to your location after)
You will need Android SubSystem installed on WIndows 11 and for that you need Amazon App Store, even if it will be impossibel to use, you need to activate some Windows Optional Features and finally activate virtualization on your Bios ( serach Google how to do it for your motherboard!)
Lets get Start!!!
To Enable Windows Optional Features, go to Start menu, in search box type OptionalFeatures.exe then open it, select Virtual Machine Platform and OK.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
!Restart your PC!
After Restart, lets get Amazon App Store for that you need to change Windows System language, go to Start, search box and type location and select "Change country or region", in that window that oppened select "country or region" tab and change it to United States!
After that go to this link to get Amazon App Store!
Install it and close it ( don´t need it any more). ( You can return location to your location now)
Now go to Start, type in serach box Android and you will see Android Subsystem app, open it, enable developer mode. You will get a IP and door in developer mode tab like this 127.0.0.1:48406.
Now download this SWA_Setup.zip that i create to get easier to install APK by Pick and drop over batch to install, just pick Apk and drop over DropToInstallApk.bat.
Open zip and extract my tool to Desktop.
( NOTE: Not all Android app will work some of theme need google system or phone Android system!!!!)
Open SWA_Setup folder, open the batch files (.bat) like text file and change the IP and door to your IP and door that you get form developer mode option. ( check image above to see where IP and door is) Save batch. ( Check Image bellow to see where you must change in both batch files)
In Android SubSystem window you need open files first to start Android system ( image bellow) before execute Setup batch (SettingUp.bat) or install any apk through pick and drop. When you already had any app installed only need to start app to start Windows Android System.
Ok! Lets Setup and add apk!!!
I create SettingUp.bat that will Install a Manager app and Aurora App Store ( Google Play Store Clone).
You can download and install trough Aurora App Store but if you want to try another way go to Apkmirror site, search your apk, download, change name to short name ( Apkmirror give a hudge name to Apks and some times get error when installing...), paste inside SWA_Setup folder, pick the apk and drop overDropToInstallApk.bat! Done!
Your apk is on Start menu! Example i add Heroes Evolved from Apkmirror!
To unistall just do right click over apk/app and unistall it or use Manager app!
Note: Game need gamepad to play and mouse
After all Setup is very easy to work with Windows Android Sytem or any installed Apk because its part of system like any other aplication from Windows.
Enjoy it!
Hi!
Just one note, don't install your wife android games on pc... Bad choice... you loose the rights to him
{Mod edit: Quoted post has been deleted}
Because BlueStacks consumes more resources then windows Android System!
I used BlueStacks, i know it.
Hi!
Happy Easter to All!
I Update main post!
Is it possible to get apps that control things on your local network to work? Like the roku or Sonos app? These apps think they are offline. So it can’t see my devices. It says to check WiFi.

By default they are built for smartphones, i don't know if they detect wifi or cable connection from PC.
Thanks. Wonder if there is a work around For this. WSA does think it’s a pixel 5. I guess we would need to get a local IP first. So it can see your local network. It seems like these apps need WiFi. Or to make them think WiFi is active.

Yes, must be build some bridges between Android apps and Windows, especially in detecting and reading hardware configuration from pc. Don't forgot that is a Android emulator.
I don't have the knowledge for that but maybe picking some features and tools from already known vm machines and complete the Windows vm machine for will help. Its basic.
This is all new for now, probably in future some will find a way to root, etc, etc.
Hi!
Checking Windows Android System i noticed that build for Windows 10... Does any one had try this tutorial on Windows 10?
Thanks for this tutorial.
I have a question, which is not totally related to this tutorial, but maybe you can help me.
I installed the Amazon AppStore on windows 11 from the Microsoft store, but I can't access it. The Amazon AppStore app starts, I enter my Amazon credentials and then there is a "continue" button but if I press the continue button, nothing happens. It remains blocked, although I am logged in with my Amazon account.
I'm going to use Aurora Store next, but I wish I could access the Amazon AppStore too, at least to try it out.
Any idea what could be stuck?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your answer.
The problem is solved.
I first used the aurora store and then strangely the amazon appstore started working, I don't know why.

There is no safe way yet.
I'm new to Android apps on Windows 11. I've installed the Textra SMS app successfully and it starts. However, it wants me to specify the app as the default SMS app for Android. I've set the Windows default app for SMS to Textra, but that doesn't help.
How do I get to Android settings as they would appear on an Android phone where default apps can be set?
Thanks.
windows 11 letting me change region but will not let me install amazon?
Changed region and keyboard etc just in case! but Amazon not available in my region?
LineageOS 19.1 for SM-T580 (gtaxlwifi) is running only on my tablet, sorry for the confusion , the below software is also based on Android 12.1. I edited my heading since I wrote I like the Samsung rom about my tablet , which is not related to what I found below, I don't know what if any kernel it using, the message I got back maybe confusion the XDA staff that moved it to the windows subform which I didn't know at the time existed here. Again the above info about my tablet and the below topic is more about how I found Android 12 now can be run on windows 11.Magisk on WSA (with Google Apps) on windows 11, I been able to play with and make an X64 for my computer, not sure I don't think we can use the arm64 port under windows 11, but in any case the X64 for the most part is able besides running offically kindle appstore and kindle app under windows 11 now, and offically microsoft has release it as that, this below is unoffical since its not supported, also it can run google playstore and play books but its not completely stable for me, it can run it fine then the next minute its crashing its windows on my gigabyte desktop, I haven't tried them on my laptop yet, it maybe more stable on my nvidia laptop or my intel based laptop, not sure since they do crash on my desktop at times they run fine, but again its really new, microsoft just put Kindle playstore, with Windows Subsystem for android in microsoft store, the kindle playstore from microsoft store also crashes just like the unoffical version, I don't think its out of beta software state, yet, but wanted to share it here, if in any case , anyway one who releases stuff like LineageOS for my tablet , wants to take a look at this project below, I just forked it at my github, the offical links to there project are below too, I am just sharing it here, in hopes that the more people know about it the better the project will get, also its better than running an android emulator on windows 11, or at least it would be if it didn't crash on my gigabyte desktop, with my nvidia rtx 2080 3D card. under windows subsystem you can select which 3D card it runs on, I haven't tried playing much games on the project below but I beat while its running stable the 3D games will play better, I have also tried blue stacks on windows before, but I do prefer the projects idea below more. under my builds below I included the keep Kindle Appstore, but if anyone wants that can be removed too, same for Magisk you can build it without that too in it if you want. on the github website. since microsoft removed the ebooks feature, I think the idea of using either play books under windows 11 or other ebook android based e readers is a great idea, but at times I do miss the build of edge that was able to open epub files. you can also set the windows subsystem for android when using the play books app on windows 11 to use the text to speech from android you can play aloud the ebooks with androids voices like in english US or english UK if you prefer, that's another nice thing that works with the below project.Website for its project below,

maximalEbooks/MagiskOnWSA

so when I log out of my github.com account, then the files are not downloadable, I don't know if it was that way before or if something at that site changed, in any case, you can fork the project on your own github account and create the files if you don't have access to them. I was able to download the x64 build and use it just fine, but there maybe sharing rules at github that I am not aware if since I am a new user using it.

Is related to the project I found at but the below project to my understanding of it not officially support since it runs more than just Kindle app store stuff like Kindle for Android. Again I just like an college student that found it online. When searching stuff

Below is a message I got when posting here, just reply back to that's questions here too if anyone else was wondering.
I have a few questions for you.
First, is this Windows software, such as for a virtual machine?
Second, where is your kernel source?
Your timely response is appreciated.
XDA Staff
They ask me these questions , I as A college student try to answer it as best I found, windows based software, it's like a virtuàl machine , I think it's sort of more native app but I am not sure runs on windows 11 and works to bring Android 12.1 to windows 11 in Microsoft store you can only run Kindle app and Kindle app store but as above project is for allows more real Android software to work, that's the point of it, since it runs on top of windows , I don't know if there's any kernel source . I don't think it has a kernel but I could be wrong, anyway I wanted to post a direct reply here to if any other home users had questions, I hope I explain it better, I am running it for ebook reads Android based for my own personal desktop and for the Android games that can be played on windows, but I also use custom stuff from here on my Samsung Galaxy tab but I just wanted to share what I found with others if they didn't know about that project which I think is really cool that someone created that for windows 11. From my understanding of the windows subsystem for Android is I read somewhere online that it using an Android 12.1 version , the above project says something to that from what I remember seeing somewhere about it.
some shared screen captures of stuff you can do on windows 11 with android. one shows two games I install, and a few ebook readers, was able to install marvels android app, not the login has a bug, otherwise you can get other comic views on android in play store, that will work just as well, I don't know if the marvel app works correctly on a real android tablet or not, not sure which app I was using for viewing them before, but on windows I was unable to get that to log in. maybe has to do with the software still beta to run android since it has sometimes crash on my desktop, otherwise all these apps seem to work more or less. comic & manga by Comixology is the working app, that other one listed as marvel doesn't log in but the one in the first image here does. and the comics download and are viewer it seems. so you can either view them on your tablet or your pc

What version of powershell are you using? Download the latest version available (currently 7.2.6). And when installing the "Magisk on WSA" subsystem, right click on the Install.ps1 file and select "open with", then go to the folder that installed powershell and open with it.

Remember that YOU DO ALL THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, I DO NOT BE RESPONSIBLE, AS WELL AS THE AUTHORS OF THE FIRMWARE AND FILES.
At the moment, who has devices from the box on EMUI 12, it is not possible to install services.
The given tutorial is valid for region 432 devices. I haven't tried other regions, it might work but maybe not.
And approach this case with a clear head, patience and straight hands .... and everything will work out, 100% CHECKED and so we begin.
Preparation:
We download all the necessary utilities and files, and save them in one new folder in an accessible place, for example, on the desktop;
Files for installation on a computer;
- Download the official HiSuite from the link
HUAWEI Hisuite Free Download | HUAWEI Support Global
HUAWEI HiSuite is the official Android Smart Device Manager tool,HiSuite helps users to connect their HUAWEI smartphones and tablets to PC and perform various tasks.
consumer.huawei.com
- HiSuite 10.0.0.550 OVE (EN)
- HiSuite 10.0.0.550 (CN)
- HiSuite.Proxy utility
Files for installation on a smartphone;
- Google Play Services 21.24.56 (GPS 21.24.56)
- Google Services Framework (gsf+10)
- Google Services Framework (gsf-fix2)
-Googlefire
All files except the first one are attached under the instruction
Save the last 4 files in your convenient e-mail cloud, then you will need to download them from the cloud on smart, because on version 10.1 - 10.1.0.131 the USB connection will not be active.
STAGE 1. System rollback to EMUI 10.1 - 10.1.0.131.
A. Rollback to version 11
If we are on EMUI 12, then we roll back to EMUI 11 using the HiSuite application on the computer. To do this, remove HiSuite 11.0.0.550 OVE if installed on your computer and install the previously downloaded official HiSuite. We connect the smartphone to the computer and perform all the proposed steps to connect and synchronize the smart with the computer. Next, after successfully connecting the smart with HiSuite, click on “System Update”, a window will appear and give permission, another window will appear and click on “Other version”, and then on “restore”. Smart will be flashed with a rollback to firmware version 11, which HiSuite will offer.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
B. Rollback to version 10
If it is not clear to someone, I have written this instruction for rolling back to version 10, I am attaching a video (rollback is made up to 11; 25 minutes) by reference;
. Personally, I rolled back on this video.
I guess we are already on the 11th version. We roll back to the 10th version, and more specifically to 10.1 - 10.1.0.131, the most optimal version for installing services. To do this, remove HiSuite on your computer and install HiSuite 11.0.0.550 OVE and the HiSuite Proxy utility.
1. Install HiSuite 11.0.0.550 OVE
We install it on the computer and connect the smartphone, in principle, the same synchronization actions as in point A. Next, we close the utility, but do not turn it off, for this we need to configure it in the program settings, which can be configured on the screen below;
2. Install and configure HiSuite.Proxy.
First, delete the entries in the upper cells that are crossed out, the rest remains as in the screenshot
Next, we patch the HiSuite utility by pressing the "Setup" button, as in the screenshot above. If there are no red inscriptions, then the process is successful, the main last point was identical as in the screenshot below. So we leave the HiSuite.Proxy utility, DO NOT CLOSE.
3. Search for the required firmware version in the Huawei Firm Finder resource.
Open the Huawei Firm Finder resource in the browser using the link; https://professorjtj.github.io/
On this page, we need to pick up our 131st firmware version, how to do it? In the top line of filters, enter the data of the smart model, firmware region and the required basic firmware version. (Example; my smart model is ANA-NX9. The assembly number, at the moment, is 12.0.0.276 (C432E5R4P5). In the first paragraph of the Phone Model, enter ANA-N, then the second paragraph, the region, enter C432, for the Russians C10, etc. the third and fourth paragraphs are optional). Next, what are we looking for from the list? We need PRELOAD, CUST, OVS firmware. We find 131 OVS and select for download by clicking on “add rom”, we also do it with the subsequent PRELOAD and CUST. One BUT: PRELOAD is selected with the designation R of your firmware, for example, I have R4 from the firmware data 12.0. By clicking them one by one, links to the selected firmware components are automatically added to the HiSuite.Proxy utility in the upper cells that you previously cleared.
An exception in the process of selecting firmware for the Russian region C10, we do through the upper right menu "Database", then select "Downgrades" and already select the firmware, as indicated above. In addition, in the network and Internet settings of the computer, if it is not activated, we activate the VPN.
I am attaching screenshots;
4. Open the HiSuite utility on the PC (smart is connected to the PC via USB). Next, the rollback process is the same as in paragraph A. At the bottom, click the "System Update" button. A window opens with a suggestion to downgrade the firmware version and click Update.
During the process of downloading and installing the firmware, do not close the HiSuite and HiSuite.Proxy utilities on the PC. Good luck.....
Hope the process went well. Before starting with the installation of services, download 4 files from the cloud on smart, which was indicated at the beginning of the instructions. In advance to a new folder, suppose the name of the Program.
STAGE 2. Installing Google Services
1. Installation of services, the process itself.
The best instruction for this process will be the following video (the process we are interested in starts at 10;29 minutes) at the link;
(By the way, this video also includes a downgrade for the P40 lite, practically a complete package of Installing Services for the P40 lite.)
My advice is to review carefully. And then get down to business, slowly, pause, return along the track if necessary. In the video, everything is practically chewed and clear, I installed it successfully the first time. I hope you install the services successfully. I will make a reservation about some of the nuances that I encountered, due to inattention and ignorance, I had to reinstall again after each successful installation.
Important point!!! In this process, you will have to change the year in the smart settings, delve into the course of events. But I will be brief, the first time you bet on 2019, the second time on 2021, and the last one on autotime and will return to the current year.
At the end of the installation, there will be moments of testing the play market, the main thing is that it opens and you can unwind the options. And even if you can’t enter the playmarket account settings, don’t be scared, everything is OK. Further, after the process is completed and the smart is restarted, notifications for non-certification may still pop up, this is how the card will fall, do not be alarmed. After the reboot, contrary to everything that I read to you above, we proceed to the next item.
2. Push activation
- On smart, open the “Files” application and look for a folder with 4 downloaded files.
- Install the GPS file 21.24.56.
- We go in the settings of the smart, applications, applications, in the upper right corner, click on the four dots and select Show system processes, look for the Google Services Framework in the list and delete it.
- Again in the folder with files and install gsf10.
- Open the Phone application and enter the code *#*#426#*#* to check the activation of push notifications, in theory the result should be CONNECTED.
- We repeat the removal of Google Services Framework.
- Again, in the folder with files and install gsf fix2.
We reboot the phone and then check the push method above. Ready...
!!! Further important actions after all;
We go to the Play Store in the settings and turn off auto-updates for applications.
Then We go to the smart settings -> applications -> applications -> Google Play Store -> Traffic statistics -> Transfer in the background (transfer to the disabled position). We do the same step for Google Play Services.
Enter the Google Play Market and disable Play Protect.
We do not update Google Play Services, AT ALL !!! Google Play Services only works with version 21.24.56 installed by us.
We do not install any clone application. Services are not friendly with them and can present another hemorrhoids.
3. Device certification.
We do according to the instructions, simple and understandable, by reference;
Как снять блокировку Google Play: "устройство не сертифицировано Google"? • Android +1
Как вы наверное уже знаете компания Google начала блокировку работы фирменных приложений, а на экране Android появляется ошибка "устройство не сертифицировано Google". Решаем эту проблему! C марта 2018 года компания Google ввела новую политику по борьбе установки своих фирменных приложений, GAPPS...

. After the process in the play market in the settings, Information, the annoying “Device is not certified” will disappear, but after a while it will come out. Do not pay attention, does not affect the work of the Market.
And lastly, update the system only via OTA (over the air).
That's all.......
If you have any questions, write in a personal, I will answer as soon as possible.
I wrote the given tutorial on the basis of several tutorials, and on the basis of my experiments and mistakes, to finally arrive at a perfect and 100% working tutorial for the moment.
