Support android-arm

Could you share more about how you use GitHub CLI on android-arm?

I think this might be a slightly larger request as android-arm isn't one of the distributions natively supported by the GitHub CLI or cli/gh-extension-precompile.

If you are looking for mobile support, I recommend following GitHub Copilot for Mobile as I believe this has an early 2024 Q2 launch date.

Sorry for the late reply, I would use it in termiux to control repositories and upload code that I have modified from termux, because if it is a private repository I cannot upload code unless I use github-cli and login

[Nichokas]

Termiux is like a linux console but for android mobiles.

@andyfeller I'm not sure that's true for termux. Here's where the CLI documents Android support: https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/trunk/docs/install_linux.md#android (and here it is in the termux pkg repo: https://packages.termux.dev/apt/termux-main/pool/main/g/gh/)

And here's where gh-extension-precompile supports android: https://github.com/cli/gh-extension-precompile/blob/b0da21c1042c79394bfb66a6c320bb1e360b876a/build_and_release.sh#L5-L6

And the blob is listed for the gh-copilot release: https://github.com/github/gh-copilot/releases/tag/v1.0.1

In fact I'd like to know what's not supported here @Nichokas? What happens that this doesn't work?

[Nichokas]

2 months ago when I reported it I didn't support android-arm but it seems that now it does

[andyfeller]

@andyfeller I'm not sure that's true for termux. Here's where the CLI documents Android support: https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/trunk/docs/install_linux.md#android (and here it is in the termux pkg repo: https://packages.termux.dev/apt/termux-main/pool/main/g/gh/)

Revisiting this issue in light of #84, I think there are some nuances here I wanted to mention, @williammartin:

1. The Android supported linked is technically unofficially provided by the Android community
2. Our Linux and BSD support highlights that CPU architectures we generally support with a difference between 32-bit android/arm versus 64-bit android/arm64
3. From what I understand, Termux requires a physical Android mobile device, which is somewhat difficult to reproduce support use cases

@Nichokas : would you be willing to share how you were installing github/gh-copilot with the existing release artifacts?

1. The Android supported linked is technically unofficially provided by the Android community

2. Our Linux and BSD support highlights that CPU architectures we generally support with a difference between 32-bit `android/arm` versus 64-bit `android/arm64`

3. From what I understand, Termux requires a physical Android mobile device, which is somewhat difficult to reproduce support use cases

I installed it pkg install gh

@Nichokas thanks for the response.

First I think we need to clear up some confusion, when you say "Support android-arm" are generally talking about android-arm (32-bit and 64-bit) or are you very specifically talking about 32-bit (which would generally be packaged as android-arm rather than android-arm64?

Secondly, I think Andy's question about installation was how you installed this extension, rather than gh generally.

Thanks!

The issue was on a 32bit phone and I installed the extensión with gh extension install github/gh-copilot
