dear sir when ever i am trying to build testnet version of electrum apk using ./make_apk.sh it show this error 💬 INFO: preparing electrum-locale. pt_BR/electrum.po:416: 'msgid' and 'msgstr' entries do not both end with '\n' msgfmt: found 1 fatal error /home/shri-krishna/electrum/contrib/android /home/shri-krishna/electrum/contrib/android 💬 INFO: apk building phase starts. 🗯 ERROR: unknown build type

how can i fix it and successfully build my testnet electrum apk for my android device?

Follow the steps described in contrib/android/Readme.md. For example, run $ ./build.sh qml arm64-v8a debug.

Do not run make_apk.sh directly unless you can read and understand code and don't need help.

To build for testnet, as said already in https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/5570#issuecomment-1961606303, you need to uncomment this line: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/85ea2dfc484b7ee2de5863a1ee7a4531215600c1/contrib/android/make_apk.sh#L48

./build.sh is just showing 💬 INFO: Found 8 CPUs, which we might use for building. 🗯 ERROR: usage: build.sh <qml|...> <arm64-v8a|armeabi-v7a|x86|x86_64|all> <debug|release|release-unsigned> this nothing more even i tired your instruction still it is not working.

In what way is ./build.sh qml arm64-v8a debug not working?

ejrhe commented 4 months ago

It is just showing the usage and do nothing after that.
