As a Mentor I want to easily and securely direct a Mentee to the app so they can download and install it

Working on F-Droid app swap option.

[jmatsushita]

Attempt to share F-Droid via the built-in bluetooth sharing function didn't work because of what seems to be restrictions on the Google Nexus I've used for testing which raises a "content isn't supported". The F-Droid sharing via Bluetooth worked between a Zopo and an HTC phone.

However:

• Using the Swap App function displays a swap success! page with only an F-Droid item which shows Installed, whatever the apps that were chosen in the previous screen. This was the case for both phones.
• Using the Share Icon on the App's F-Droid description page actually shares the description and a link to the f-droid website rather than share the app.

So the only way so far to share apps has been (not on the nexus) to go to the app's description page and to click on the option menu and using Send via bluetooth.

Maybe @eighthave can enlighten us?

[bsenyk]

Thanks, @jmatsushita. Can you send me info on the device? The device make/model (or just the processor architecture, which is what I'm after) and the android version.

[jmatsushita]

Hi @bsenyk it's the same device I used to run the dev builds via USB so we know it runs local builds. It's a Nexus 5 with Android 5.1.1

Does it run on your device?

[eighthave]

so "Send via Bluetooth" works, but swapping over Bluetooth does not?

Have you enabled apps to share by clicking on them?

[bsenyk]

The issue above was solved by including a missing lib folder. @jmatsushita -- what do you feel is left to do to satisfy this issue?

[jmatsushita]

I'll close this and create another issue for the F-Droid swapping issue after testing it again.

[jmatsushita]

Oops. Sure the fdroid build problem is done, but I don't think we should consider that story closed :)
