Link to APK? #203

Closed ixemul closed 9 years ago

Hi,

This is just a question / request. Is there any way you could post a link to the APK file rather than just to Google Play? Previous version runs great on bb10 and I'd like to try the new. Yes, there are ways to download APKs from Play but it's a bit of a pain. Just a thought!

Thanks

Blackberries run APK files? I don't think they do, you'll need to generate the BB10 file as follows:

$ # make sure bower, npm, and cordova are all installed
$ git clone https://github.com/HabitRPG/habitrpg-mobile.git
$ cd habitrpg-mobile && npm install && bower install
$ gulp
$ cordova platform add blackberry10
$ cordova build blackberry10

I know the Blackberry Playbook can run APK files, but working through it is pretty much being chased by dogs.

I think the above steps would work better than an APK, since it will generate the blackberry-compatible file. I tried it on local and it was giving me some build errors, don't have much time now to muck through those - but that should point ya in the right direction

Newer versions of the BB10 OS can install and run most APK files directly from the file manager or from alternative android app stores like the amazon one (google play will not run on BB10). I grabbed the APK from google play through an APK downloader and installed it on my Z10; it works like a charm. Nice update by the way.

I'll dig into the below when I get some time, I'm just learning about mobile device development but it would be nice to have a bb native version :)

I'm running the latest HabitRPG on my BlackBerry Q10. The interface is a little wonky, but love the concept. Agree with the original poster - if there could be a folder with current and past versions of APKs, that'd be awesome for folks that don't/can't get Google Play Store access.

HabitRPG team , if you want to get more exposure for your app, maybe post to the Amazon App Store? It looks like it's free to do so - https://developer.amazon.com/appsandservices/support/faq

I'd be happy to add a review!
