Android installation

The distribution of the Android build is currently unfinished. Publishing to the Google Play Store is on the roadmap. In the meanwhile you can manually install the APK file.

Installing APK

Installation steps

  1. Download the APK file from releases, from under the Assets header, to your Android device. The file should be named CubeShuffle_Android.apk.

  2. Install the APK file using the built in package installer. This can be done by opening the downloaded APK file in your file manager, web browser’s download list or some other application.

    1. If you haven’t done so previously, you may need to enable application installations from Unknown sources. The setting is likely either in Settings → Security → Unknown sources OR Settings → Applications → Unknown sources.

      1. Exact menu location of the setting varies between Android versions and manufacturer skins.

      2. Newer versions of Android controls the ability to install APK files on a per-application basis. Allow only the application you will use to open the APK with, likely either the file manager or web browser.

      3. Some Android builds will automatically put you in the correct settings menu if needed when trying to install the APK. Others just inform you that you need to enable Unknown sources but offer no further assistance.

    2. A rare few file managers will hide APK files by default. Check your file managers settings if you can’t locate the APK file.

  3. Optional: Remove the APK file. It isn’t needed after a successful installation.

Updates

The APK installation doesn’t offer automatic updates. Updates have to be installed manually by installing the APK for each update.

Installing AAB

The Android Application Bundle is available from compiled releases under Assets. To install use the bundletool to first generate an apks file which can then be installed, also using bundletool. Installing from AAB is a moderately advanced task and is therefor not recommended for most users.
