[Q] porting App

[Cootehill]

Hi guys, have a general question about building an App for Android.

What makes it difficult to code an app for Android on different smartphones. Why are Apps in the Play Store don't accept my U11 but same App runs on some older Phone like Samsung S6?

It is not about complaining rather try to understand what is the reason. I'm not familiar in programming, just surprised about the fact.

Thanks for explaining a noob what's happen.

Usually not a lot. Try getting the app from apkmirror and see if it installs. Could be that it's built for arm, not arm64

Which app are you talking about? Is it an app by Samsung for Samsung phones?

No, it is Arrim One, I put some money in their Kickstarter campaign and end up with a thank you but our App would not support your HTC phone. They blame Google Play for non support "He told me that the Arrim one uses AR function to detect the objects, distance and do measurement. Thus the phone used must support ARCore function, which is developed by Google. All support devices are listed on Google website"

Is that mean the U11 would not working with Augmented Reality?

That seems to be the problem: HTC doesn't support ARCore with any of their phones. Maybe some licensing issue.

Thanks, I was happy found a phone which sued my expectations for daily use now have to put my eye on upcoming technologies.

Hi. I have bought Arrim One on Kickstarter too. It is great idea behind the concept, however the implementation is bad. I have had LG G5 wich is not supported to be run ARCore, so I change ROM to RR and apply some app package trough Magisk (thanks to good job for RR team as well as Magisk creators and other clever people from community) Anyway, I have got ARCore working on LG G5, but not Arrim One app. So I have decided to buy Moto One Zoom as officialy approved by Arrim Team (https://www.arrim.net/) Now I have finished with new phone, Arrim One app still not working and developer of Arrim One app not answering...
