Will there be an android version in the future?

Open Cuphead74832 opened this issue 1 year ago • 11 comments

So basically like the ChromeOS support, scratch can now also run on ANDROID and i been wondering if there are any plans to bring TurboWarp Offline and the Packager to android!

This should be in a different issue but i will put it here since i do not want to SPAM the issues section.

(also it would be cool in the offline version that instead of having to wait for an update for "extensions" to update you could just click a button that said "check online for updated extensions" and would allow to use the updated online version offline until the next turbowarp offline builds appears and updates all the offline extensions.)

A feature i wanted, but was never added

You can just go to your browser and go to turbowarp.org and now you have turbowarp on your Android device !

Jokes aside the web interface is almost unusable on most phones and not all Android devices support the scratch app (like my phone) so imagine turbowarp

From what i remember turbowarp was unofficialy ported to an apk as a "proof of concept", only to show it was possible

Note that i don't say it's not possible or that i am against it, i just think the effort is not worth it

Do you have the proof of concept?

What about a more of a PWA?

If you'd like to you can package the project and use external tools to package it into an APK, I've actually done it as a proof of concept.

I think to make it actually usable option to run projects will need to be adden, but for this

You can just go to your browser and go to turbowarp.org and now you have turbowarp on your Android device !

So I think that running .sb3 files will be only thing that you will be able to actually do.

Well that was a year long journey.

Oh well whatever, a long happened in a year, android 16 with Linux support CAME. And Desktop Mode! Allowing anyone to run the Chrome install like you would do on a chromebook!

So success to some degree happened and turbowarp is now usable on Android, under compatible models so. Issue solved i Guess (STILL unplanned do, since its not AN official support method and its not everywhere yet)
