I can maybe test No need, that's my burden, I'm just not going to assume (since builds take hours) that the banking app is going to work with FDroid/AuroraStore out of the box | 15:19:52 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | We can make gapps.enable, that's a more productive use of time | 15:20:19 |
 kranzes | Well I mean I already have a rom with lots of stuff, i can just try the launching the banking app on my phone | 15:20:53 |
| kranzes | that's what i offered | 15:20:57 |

We can make gapps.enable, that's a more productive use of time We first need to move robotnix to nix-community github org | 15:21:07 |
| kranzes | and merge some PRs | 15:21:10 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I mean, sure, if you're comfortable with that | 15:21:12 |
| kranzes | updates | 15:21:13 |

I mean, sure, if you're comfortable with that yeah | 15:21:17 |
| kranzes | tell me the app name | 15:21:22 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | it's PayPal Zettle | 15:21:33 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.izettle.android&hl=en&gl=US | 15:21:49 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Atemu: I don't see any modifications to the manifest with the way robotnix implements microg | 15:25:44 |
| kranzes | At what point does this Zettle app crash? | 15:26:17 |
 atemu12 | matthewcroughan - nix.how: Ah, indeed it only installs the one APK | 15:26:46 |

At what point does this Zettle app crash? I'm not saying it does, I just don't want to assume it works | 15:26:54 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | And that's the point, it might crash at the point of login because you don't have play services etc | 15:27:12 |
| kranzes | People are saying paypal works with microg | 15:27:34 |
| kranzes | so this might work too | 15:27:37 |
| kranzes | who knows | 15:27:39 |

matthewcroughan - nix.how: Ah, indeed it only installs the one APK Ah some of the interesting bits are in modules/apps/prebuilt.nix | 15:27:51 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | ...
androidmk = prebuilt: pkgs.writeText "Android.mk" (''
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
...
| 15:28:02 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I guess I could just get the zettle app and prebuild it in myself | 15:28:26 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | there just isn't a reliable way to fetch APKs | 15:28:32 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | This is why it is very much worth simply giving up and using the proprietary software for the highly proprietary platform | 15:28:57 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Because it's not free, and pretending it's free is only going to lead to unreliability, failure and tons of headache | 15:29:13 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | The way the prebuilt module option works is on .apk files, but what is the OpenGapps format? | 15:34:43 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | when you get OpenGapps it comes not as an apk, but as a zip that you flash in TWRP. What is this format called/ | 15:34:55 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | * when you get OpenGapps it comes not as an apk, but as a zip that you flash in TWRP. What is this format called? | 15:34:57 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | We could ideally then add prebuilt.format = "apk" or prebuilt.format = "flashable-zip" and make it generic | 15:35:15 |
