APK Download #12

Closed IzzySoft closed 4 years ago

IzzySoft commented 4 years ago

Would you mind providing the (signed) APK for download (ideally attached to its corresponding release) so users could give it a try? Would also be interesting to know the app's requirements (does it e.g. depend on OpenCV already being available on-device). Thanks!

Breta01 commented 4 years ago

Hi, adding APK to release section is good idea. Right now the app is also in review process for Google Play. I will provide you with link once it is published (hopefully during following week).

There are no other requirements, the APK should be self-sufficient. The app currently supports only Android 5.0+

IzzySoft commented 4 years ago

That's cool – and thanks for the fast response! From your description, this sounds like the app I'm after personally :smiley:

Additionally, once you've made the APK available at the releases tab, I offer you to include it with my F-Droid repo (which is quite popular if I may say so – just do a web search for "izzyondroid repo"). Updates will be fetched within 24h of your creating a new tag with an APK attached to it.

I'd further recommend you establishing Fastlane file structure in your repo: you can use that for deployments to Play Store, and my updater would pick the per-release changelogs from that (to be shown right next to the description on my website as well as in the F-Droid app). That's optional of course, but would be nice to have :wink: If at one point you decide to apply for the F-Droid main repo, summary/description and screenshots would be picked up from Fastlane as well.

Hi, the application is now available on Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bretahajek.docus. There are might still be some issues with the application. There are many updates I would like to do, but right now I am focusing on different project.

Thanks for suggesting Fastlane file structure. I will definitely try to implement that.

IzzySoft commented 4 years ago

Thanks! So when will the APK be available here (e.g. attached to releases)? I don't have any GApps on my devices (by choice) and thus do not use Play Store. Many of us "privacy folks" have a similar setup. And many more have it not-by-choice (think China, think Huawei).

Would be great if you could provide the APK here for all of us. My above offer stands, to make it easier for the users to not miss an update.

:question: (source) :smiley:

@Breta01 any chance to have the APK available here? I'd really like to give it a try, but without the APK I cannot. As I wrote, I don't use Play Store (don't even have it installed on my devices).

Breta01 commented 4 years ago

Yes I will provide the apk here as soon as possible. I am bit busy right now. I hope to have it here by the end of this week.

IzzySoft commented 4 years ago

First things first of course! Thanks for your response! I'll be patient then and look forward to the weekend :smiley: All the best!

Breta01 commented 4 years ago

Good news! I added the APK file to the release. Keep in mind that it is still more or less beta version. I also look into Fastlane and it's file format. It looks pretty cool. I run the basic setup and I am thinking about using it for automating release process.

I am closing this issue for now. Let me know if there are any issues. @IzzySoft

I added the APK file to the release.

Thanks!!! Ui, it's quite big… I was hoping it would fit into the 30M limit of my repo :cry: Looking inside: could you compile an APK without the x86/x86_64 stuff (i.e. a plain ARM one) and attach that as well (like, docus-release-arm.apk, renaming the other to e.g. docus-release-multiarch.apk so they could be easily kept apart)? I just did a quick test (unzipping, removing the x86* dirs from lib/, zipping the remains) – size is down to about 12M, so I could even keep 2 versions within the 30M.

Fastlane … I am thinking about using it for automating release process.

That's what it's intended for – great you like it! If you include the per-release changelogs with that, my updater would pull them along (so they are shown inside the F-Droid app as well as on the WebIf).

Breta01 commented 4 years ago

@IzzySoft Yes, I used app bundle for uploading to Google Play. I added the ARM only apk

IzzySoft commented 4 years ago

Great, thanks a lot! Your app will show up here in about two hours (with the next sync); be welcome to use above badge to point there then from your Readme :smiley:

Please keep the naming schema (my updater looks for *arm.apk at tags now). And it will pick the per-release changelogs from fastlane. If you want something changed on the listing (description, screenshots), just let me know.

I've just installed the app on one of my devices (to give it a first look and add some more screenshots) – looks good so far, tagging I find a nice idea! A few questions, though (I will open separate issues for them if you wish):
