Just built it from source while waiting for Google to approve the app, and it's great. I had to use Firefox for the PWA because I need links to open in firefox when I click on them, but Firefox doesn't handle PWAs vey well. The native app fixes all these problems. Excited for it to be on the Google Play Store!
Also aeharding@lemmy.world will you upload the android app to F-droid? It would be nice to have it there rather than having to install it from the play store.
I don't think so. You need to run npm build or something, then install ionic and capacitor, then run npx cap init, then go into the android folder and run ./gradlew build
where did you get the instructions?
I just saw a gradlew file in the android folder so I ran gradlew build, and then I searched up the error messages I got until I fixed them
i am getting an error which i couldn't find a solution for, it's complaining about line 12 in /android/app/build.gradle . can you help me please?
Oh I forgot, you need to set the CI_BUILD_NUMBER environment variable to some number (I just set it to 1)
i'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do i do that?
It's different on different operating systems. Search how to set environment variable for whatever operating system you use
still getting the same error.
I can dm you the apk if you want
sure
I would love an apk too if i may ask πΆβπ«οΈ
Thanks. I'll look into it.
