I’ve ran the new app on Blue Stacks before, but now I have a brand new installation on a new PC. When I open the app and click sign in, it just crashes. Every time.
Anyone have any ideas?

Awesome, that worked for me!
I had the same problem but then i changed device too, and everything did run again !!!
Just to clarify for others unfamiliar with BlueStacks: In BlueStacks Settings, choose Device, Create a custom profile. Use the settings @Greco supplied.
for those not familiar with what blustacks is, it is an android emulator that runs on windows. thus, allowing you to run the smartthings app on your windows machine.

Has anybody been able to make SmartThings work on BlueStacks 5?
I’ve tried the device profile hack and it doesn’t make SmartThings appear in the Play Store.
I’ve tried installing previous APKs of SmartThings and they either don’t install or they install, launch OK, but then crash when trying to log in.
SmartThings will no longer play in Nougat, which is the default stable Android OS Bluestacks uses right now. It may install from .apk, but as you noticed it’s no longer in the Play store
You have to create an instance that runs Android Pie [‘Pie 64-Bit (Beta)’]
To do that, you have to create a new instance using the ‘Multi-instance manager’ from the “…” menu (button on the lower right-hand side) then be sure to pick Pie.

I’m having trouble with SmartThings on BlueStacks again. Automations comes up without my SmartApps. Devices are visible, but when you open a Device, it doesn’t load anything. Blank page.
Anybody else seeing this?
Latest SmartThings app, v1.7.89.25. BlueStacks 5.5.10.1001
Have you tried windows subsystem for Android?
No, I haven’t. I will look into it.
I see that the Amazon Appstore on Windows is currently only available in USA. I’ll have to figure out a way around that in Canada.
You need to install Google play, I don’t think SmartThings is in the amazon app store.
Getting the Google Play store installed is a little too involved right now, so I sideloaded the latest SmartThings app on WSA.
SmartThings starts OK. When I try to sign in, it goes to https://us.account.samsung.com/ on my Windows Chrome browser. https://us.account.samsung.com/ does not like this, so I’m going to have to find a way to set the WSA default browser to be an Android browser on WSA…if there is even facility within WSA to pass the authentication token back from the browser to SmartThings.
You can also use One Plus 10 Pro under Phone profiles
