Submit a Kivy MD Kitchen Sink demo app to Apple App store and Google Play #8

Closed GoBig87 closed 5 years ago

GoBig87 commented 5 years ago

I noticed KivyMD is flying under the radar a bit and there are lots of complaints with Kivy's look and feel of the default UI and most people don't know what KivyMD is capable of. It wouldn't be too much work to get the kitchen sink demo into Google and Apple's app store to help show case off what a material design app can look like in Kivy. It would be great way to introduce kivy to potential users with out them having to go through the struggles of buildozer to get a working app and see what KivyMD is capable of. I wouldn't mind helping out getting it into the app stores as I have a mac and linux machine that can get builds into the app stores with the required credentials for each. I just wouldn't want to step on peoples toes and submit their work as my own but it looks like nobody is actively maintaining it and not sure who should I get approval from?

Yes having it on the store is a good idea, feel free to go ahead and do it :+1:

GoBig87 commented 5 years ago

Got a release waiting for approval for Android and ios. I named them "KivyMD Demo" in both app stores. I'll provide links later once the app is approved and in the app stores.

ios might take a day or two.

AndreMiras commented 5 years ago

Awesome! Thanks

GoBig87 commented 5 years ago

Well it looks like Apple wont allow demo apps... So I don't think I'll be able to get it approved. But I can upload it to test flight and if users want to try it out on an ios they can sign up for test flight and email me for access.

Well you can have a public invite link for Testflight so that should solve it. You'd need to refresh the build every 90 days though.

AndreMiras commented 5 years ago

Pretty annoying, but in any case this Material Design so I don't think it targets iOS users anyway

cruor99 commented 5 years ago

You'd be surprised! I find material design is pretty universal - it is very prevalent on the iOS ecosystem. Almost everything is based on material design, but with some custom flows per app. At least that's what it feels like for me.

A suggestion might be a video-walkthrough of the various widgets? That would probably be equally valuable as an actual demo-app?

AndreMiras commented 5 years ago

Yes making a video is a pretty good idea too! I remember I made a gif in the past to demo some apps e.g. https://github.com/kivy-garden/garden.zbarcam

https://testflight.apple.com/join/VxqQHYJN. I just made a test flight build that anyone can use. I'll just have to update it every 90 days.

AndreMiras commented 5 years ago

Nice! Thanks for sharing! I'll update some apps to run on F-Droid pretty soon. So I guess I could do it for KivyMD too :)
