Hello Lemmy. I just released a new Lemmy client for iOS. I'm still working on a few key features (background notifications, word block filters, i18n, community creation and moderation, plus a few other random things). I hope to have them complete soon. If you have the time, please take a look and let me know how I can make it better: Maliki Issues.
I want to release this app for Android, but Google requires that I have 12 Android testers. Anyone up for that?
Is it FOSS?
Yes it has a GitHub page.
It’s good to have more choices as we have less options on IOS compared to Android.
Looking good! Also: !lemmysilver
Did it work? I expected the bot to comment 😄
this community isn't whitelisted, whoopsie, should have checked.
What is lemmysilver
Thanks!
If you still need android testers let me know.
Great! Thank you
Thank you!
Great! Another great way to get Android users is to publish releases on the github page a lot of Lemmy users will install directly if available or use a service like Obtainium that pulls directly from GitHub.
Thanks for the advice!
I’m definitely gonna try the iOS app out, I hope you find the droids you’re looking for
Thank you. I only know a few people who use Android, so it's a challenge.
Count me in on Android! Foxes are my spirit animal and I'm a chronically online loser so I'll be a great beta tester.
Great! Thank you. I'll be in touch when I release the latest test build.
Are you planning on a Material You design implementation for the Android version or just sticking with the iOS look?
For now at least, it'll be the same on Android and iOS
Do you have a community for discussion etc? Or just the GitHub?
A community would probably be a good idea huh? I'll get on that.
I want to release this app for Android, but Google requires that I have 12 Android testers. Anyone up for that?
Don't you just... build an APK and let people download it? Or are you trying to use some Play Store beta system?
I think it's only a requirement for new Android developers.
I can think of a few ways around it, but I would in fact like some actual testing done on this thing before release.
Where are you seeing that requirement? Like I said, there should be nothing stopping you from simply building the APK and letting any arbitrary user download/install it. Think of all the APKs available on GitHub, itch.io, etc. Anyone can download/install those without the user or developer having had to register for anything. Android is not a closed system like iOS in which distribution of applications is restricted to some official channel.
