Hey all,
I’m de-googling, and while OctoApp (to control OctoPrint) is open source (https://gitlab.com/realoctoapp/octoapp), there are no APKs in the releases like the README says. I can’t report this as an issue because that’s turned off on GutLab, so does anyone know of any other way it is distributed outside of thr Play Store?
Thanks.
You must log in or register to comment.
Could always email the developer. [email protected] And ask that they fix their gitlab releases. Then use Obtanium to create a custom updater for it once it’s done.
Yea that’s a good idea since I’m already using Obtainium.
If for any reason there’s push-back on it, I’m also willing to throw a second voice behind the request as I too am de-googling and would appreciate a better solution than using APK mirror sites or aurora “anonymously”, for all the good it does.
I did just set up Touch UI as a plugin on Octoprint. It’s ugly, but it works.
It doesnt look too hard to build from source if you want to go that route… You could just make a debug apk and install it with ADB.
Yea but I wouldn’t want to rebuild to keep up with updates.
There’s an APK on apkmirror updated yesterday.
Is apkmirror a safe source? They’re only supported in Track Only mode on Obtainium.
It’s owned by the android police people and scan every apk that goes on their servers. Sorry for the delayed response
The Google Play version has Google analytics. Wouldn’t those still be in the GitLab download if it was packaged as an APK?
Not with PiHole 😉
