Google's futuristic Fuchsia OS will run Android apps
A new update to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), spotted by 9to5Google, suggests Fuchsia will use a special version of the Android Runtime (ART) to run Android apps.
This feature would enable devices with Fuchsia — which could be anything from PCs to smart speakers — to take advantage of the abundance of Android apps in the Google Play Store.
In a note on the AOSP site regarding Fuchsia device targets, Google explains that "these targets are used to build ART for Fuchsia".

Google’s Open Source Fuchsia OS Will Support Android Apps
When we talk about any open source operating system, most of the times it’s based on Linux or BSD. It rarely happens that there’s a new operating system kernel is being developed as it requires tons of work.
This is where Fuschia comes in. It is Google’s upcoming operating system with a new kernel (Magenta) that’s being developed at a fast pace and we often keep coming across different development news related to it. The latest report has further hinted that Fuchsia OS will support Android apps.

Google's Fuchsia OS will seemingly support Android apps
Looks like Google won't make your Android apps obsolete whenever it switches to the Fuchsia operating system.
A file posted on the Android Open Source Project suggests that the search giant is implementing a specially made version of Android Runtime (ART) -- the architecture used by the apps -- in the upcoming operating system, as previously reported by 9to5Google.
"These targets are used to build ART for Fuchsia. They differ from usual Android devices as they do not target specific hardware. They will produce a fuchsia package (.far file)," the entry says.
