OpenLinkWith

I noticed 2.10 has been tagged (and listed in github releases page) >1 year ago. However, it does not actually appear to be available via any discoverable method?

• Google Play Store is offering me version 2.8 (Checked via Pixel 6a, Android 13)
• F-droid has 2.9
• IzzyOnDroid also has 2.9
• Github Releases page has source code, but no built .apk file (previous releases have built .apk files)

Barring setting up my own android build environment, is there a pre-built release available anywhere?

This also causes the app to be undiscoverable and uninstallable in the Google Play Store (for new users) because the targetSdkVersion in 2.8 is >2 years old. This is fixed already in 2.10 (commit 81575790b5bba4a953b42c1f042d96b3fc86f979 bumps targetSdkVersion from 29 to 32). But again, this doesn't appear to be published in the Google Play Store.

Hi @chrisirwin

Yes, you are right. I don't understand why the dev hasn't updated the app to the latest version on Play Store and FDroid. Here we have the source code for the latest version, but I don't know how to compile an app with the source code and I would like to learn how to do it, because here in Github there is another app called LADB that is paid in Play Store, and free if you compile the source code. That's why I would like to learn how to compile based on the source code. If you know how to do it, can you please teach me?

Barring setting up my own android build environment, is there a pre-built release available anywhere?

I have been searching the internet for the latest version 2.10 and someone on the Russian 4PDA forum has compiled the app using the source code found in this repository, and uploaded the apk file. To download the apk you have to create an account on the forum, or you can download the apk here.

@Dhyfer1 Both links seem to be dead. Does anyone have a copy of 2.10?

@yochananmarqos I downloaded the file again from the 4pda forum (the latest version is still on the forum). You can download the file from this link

@Dhyfer1 Thanks!

@Dhyfer1 Thanks!

You're welcome bro 👍

I've created an unoffical v2.11, which includes the current master of this repository plus pull request #97: https://github.com/buttercookie42/OpenLinkWith/releases/tag/2.11

Amazing thanks dude

Thank you @buttercookie42, that should help a lot.

Although I personally found a different app that does everything this one does and a lot more (although it can be more complex to use) - I don't know the rules here on "advertising" (though I have no stake in it) so I won't mention the name unless someone asks. But I did want to bring up that besides the very welcome unofficial build, alternatives also exist. The one I'm using now is also Open Source like OpenLinkWith is.

@davidgro I would like to know what app you are talking about, please

@Dhyfer1 Probably BetterOpenWith

Kinda ugly but very functional.
