android 10 min api deadline question #74

Open hltdev8642 opened 3 years ago

hltdev8642 commented 3 years ago

Hello, I was wondering, will nixos/nix-on-droid be effected by the minimum sdk / android 10 issue (as termux will be) in a few months from now?

I am looking for a backup to termux, that won't end up broken when this api cutoff deadline occurs (in November 2020 I think). I am rooted and on a custom rom, if that makes any difference.

Really hope this will possibly be a good alternative, and if it's uneffected I wonder if the creator of this could figure out with the termux dev how to fix the issue (there gonna use apks instead of packages or something, sounds a bit messy). I know they were taking about using proot and other things like that, so maybe that could end up being a potential collaboration.. who knows :-)

Thanks!

If that's the Google Play policy cutoff, then, well, it's never been on Google Play. But then again, more roadblocks will probably follow, right?

Sorry to disappoint you, but (at least my) stance is "this is a tiny project, it doesn't have to be the one to figure it out first". Granted, it might be easier for Nix-on-Droid than for the rest if proot bundling will be enough to solve it, but that's speculation. I totally planned to ape it from someone else who solves that earlier.

Oh Lord =)

If only I knew something about Android development.
