Hi!

I don't use Google Play. Do you plan to offer your Launcher as a direct download or through f-droid? Would be awesome.

Have a great day!

RobinJ1995 commented 9 years ago

Currently Ubuntu Launcher is still in Beta. As such it makes little sense to have it in a lot of separate app stores. I may do this at a later stage, but not right now. I'd give you a download link, but I have no recent and stable build on my computer right now :)

Since Ubuntu Launcher got taken down from the Google Play Store, I quickly threw together a website for it.

You can download the latest version (currently 0.5.12) from there.

@RobinJ1995 Would it be ok now to include this app in F-Droid, if it meets the inclusion criteria? :)

RobinJ1995 commented 6 years ago

It's on the Play Store again nowadays (after the name change). I've considered publishing it on F-Droid before but it doesn't meet the requirements and I can't be bothered to put in the effort to make it meet the requirements of a very restrictive app store to be honest :) There's more interesting things I can spend my development time on :)

Poussinou commented 6 years ago

What are the problematic (proprietary) libraries, just for my interest? :)

Anyway, thanks for you response 👍

RobinJ1995 commented 6 years ago

I have Google libraries in there. They're not strictly required for the app to work (like the donation button which according to Google Play's policies must use the Google Play in-app purchases API), but it's more so the fact that I wouldn't find it worth my time to try and strip them out and to make sure that every library I use conforms to F-Droid's policies :)

My app itself is open source. But with the limited time that I already have available to work on new features I'd rather have the freedom to pull in a potentially non-open source library where this makes things easier, than to restrict myself and have to spend more time on the same thing, if you get what I mean?

So ... this project still alive?

RobinJ1995 commented 6 years ago

I'd say so, yes... https://github.com/RobinJ1995/DistroHopper/commits/master

I totally get what you mean, thanks for your attention 👍

(Obviously, this is still alive^^)
