Add termux support

[fluffyloopy]

Add packaging for android termux to use with sparkles or xsdl since android clients are annoying in their own way with lack of plugins even on aliucord

Should work fine if other electron apps work. Build like for normal arm linux using Electron-builder CLI. If other Electron apps don't work then I can't help you

[fluffyloopy]

yeah i have no idea how to get it working

npm scripts are a bit broken. Can you try with Linux binary for your architecture?

[fluffyloopy]

doesnt work, armcord arm64 from the appimage and tarfile both gives No such file or directory

Electron does not work in bare Termux/Android environment, you will either need GNU libraries for Electron (if you don't want to patch an ELF binary, you will also need to place them in correct path – which would mean that you need to create a proot environment if your device is not rooted) to work or try to compile entire Electron under Android NDK (which would probably require some coding skills; it also requires a quite decent hardware because of Chromium).

With a proot solution, you can install electron apps the same way as in ARM Linux.

I was using nix on rooted android. Without proot or chroot

Tagged as won't fix as this is more of a request to Electron themselves
