📋 Summary

Add broader storefront-style import support to LaunchBox for Android, similar to the storefront integrations available in LaunchBox for Windows.

❗ Problem

Users may have Android games installed from multiple sources, such as:

• Google Play

• Amazon Appstore

• Epic Games

• Other Android app stores

Currently, it can be difficult to organize these games together in LaunchBox for Android with storefront-aware metadata and media.

Users who already use LaunchBox on Windows expect a similar experience where games from multiple sources can be collected into one library.

💡 Proposal

Expand Android storefront import support so LaunchBox for Android can better detect and import games from Android storefronts.

For supported stores, this could include:

• Importing installed games from each storefront

• Identifying which storefront a game came from

• Applying storefront-specific metadata or media where available

• Updating imported Android games when new games are installed

• Launching imported Android games directly from LaunchBox

A later version could explore importing owned-but-not-installed games if a storefront provides reliable access to that library.

🧩 Use Cases

• Import Google Play games into LaunchBox for Android

• Import Amazon Appstore games on Android devices

• Import Epic Games Android titles

• View Android-native games alongside emulated platforms

• Keep Android games organized in one frontend across handhelds, tablets, and Android TV devices

📦 Benefits

• Makes LaunchBox for Android feel closer to the Windows experience

• Improves organization for native Android games

• Reduces manual setup for Android storefront games

• Supports users with games from multiple Android stores

• Makes Android devices better all-in-one gaming frontends

⚠️ Considerations

Some storefronts may limit access to owned library data, install source information, metadata, or media. Version 1 should focus on reliably importing installed Android games, with deeper storefront account integration considered separately where technically possible.
