Will the Surface Duo Emulator support the new Apple M1 chip?
Hi team, maybe this question is already obsolete but is there any roadmap when the Surface Duo emulator will support the ARM M1 Chip from Apple? I know from Android-devs that the Google's emulator is still not natively supported and it's very very slow. To be fair, I haven't set up my Duo development setup yet, but maybe some of you have already tried it. Thanks!

Will the SDK or the device provide a functionality to include other Microsoft apps in asplit screen?
Abstract In some of my scenarios for Surface Duo centric apps play other Microsoft owned apps a huge role to utilizes the large screens of the Duo. For example You have on the right side a lot of dashboard-ish key value metrics like performance graphs, sales figures, etc. On the left, you have a more detailed view of a selected value. Now it would be great to split the detail page vertical in half and embed Microsoft OneNote, Excel or Outlook to “work with the detailed information” without leaving the app. This would allow to take notes in OneNote or write an email with a summary of some information that are available in the app. Question Will the SDK provide a functionality to embed such external apps into the developer’s own app? If not, will the customized version of Android support this feature? It’s like the split screen feature of some large Samsung phones but the user should not have to do this step by hand. The app should request opening another app in a split screen on one of the both screens. Thanks for any tips and insights! - Tobias
