APK size / per-ABI builds? about garlic-player HOT 6 CLOSED

Yes, there will be some per-ABI builds later.

from garlic-player.

Please let me know when they are ready – and where to fetch them from. Does "later" have an ETA? I've set myself a reminder for 2024-04-01 hoping that gives you enough room. Which ABI (armeabi or arm64-v8) I shall then pick I leave to you.

from garlic-player.

There is now an automated process for multi-ABI and per ABI builds.

arm64-v8a should work on all modern Androids as 64 Bit Arms exists for 10 years,

If you want to be sure, use armeabi-v7a. Newer CPUs are compatible with this.

Thanks a lot – and wow, great, totally back into my repo's per-app size limit 🤩 I'll use the arm64-v8a then here, as several newer 64bit devices start(ed) dropping 32bit support – and I guess the "target audience" will rather be at 64bit devices anyway. Should complaints come in, we can always switch to armeabi.

Switch will be in effect with the next sync around 7 pm UTC.

That said, last question in this context: are there some graphics (icon, screenshots) I could/should include with the listing? I've searched here on Github as well as on your website, but could not find any. Just found this SVG which I now added here as icon, but some screenshots would be nice to have.

I am preparing a Google play release after next stable with the multiabi version. Then I will create some pictures. But to be honest: as there is no significant UI I do not know what kind of images would fit. :-D

Hehe, I already assumed that would be the reason. But Play requires at least two screenshots – while my repo says "it would be really nice if you could".

Vague idea: you said something with "optional", so there'd be a settings screen (unless those options are done by editing some config file from outside). And there'd be one screen showing some specific content, as the images on your website have it. Makes two and thus Google happy – and I'll gladly take those two then as well.
