Provide direct download links to all Android APK architectures #281

Open rollerozxa opened 1 year ago

rollerozxa commented 1 year ago

Rather than just providing a link to the ARM 32-bit APK like that is all that's available.

I was under the impression that we don't do this because the arm64-v8a APK has some unsolved problems.

https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/9107, I assume? Unsure if it still occurs, haven't experienced it myself.

Google Play and F-Droid already distributes arm64 binaries to all 64-bit phones, and the 64-bit version obviously performs better too (assumedly also uses GC64). So I'm unsure if there's much purpose to hiding direct downloads for it.

yes

the 64-bit version obviously performs better too (assumedly also uses GC64).

in theory yes in practice if the loading screen is stuck making barely any progress for a minute you lose 30% of players (made up figure). it doesn't matter how great the game performs to players who don't make it there.
