@trainailleur Yes, the interesting and useful principle of the carrot (not found the emoji on the keyboard) has always worked. Is the bunch well provided? Distributing to the right people will not be easy.

@banderson5586 maybe they don't want to resell it but surely for someone having a smartphone or tablet for free is enough....

...and this brings to mind my fourth Question:

was it not better to give these devices as a prize in a competition for the creation of the best apps?

(and I say this aware that in this way my candidacy would automatically, for the moment, be excluded since I am not yet able to develop for UT)

@banderson5586 about the OpenStore status on arm64:

I'm writing this on Ubuntu Touch running on a Raspberry Pi 3 using the OSK on the Pi 7" touchscreen.
Thanks for the hard work put in. There are some issues still of course. Something odd with the graphics in Pi 4 windows and a slight overlap on the touch screen making left or right swipes tricky but this feels so much closer to useable than the first image. I don't think it is too far now from a platform that will showcase convergence and perhaps even let us develop apps live. I appreciate this is a side project so the UBports developers can't make it a high priority. Hopefully though the work done will help towards getting other Arm64 non-Android ports running smoothly. As a long term Linux user - trying to help get Unity8 or UBports working on the Pi has been very humbling - I'd no idea how little I knew/know!

I realised that that post may look like I'm claiming some credit and that would be wrong.
Early on I did some blundering about in the dark and kept posting about my inevitable failures to encourage someone who knew what they were doing to help - that is the sum total of my contribution

@UBportsNews
When will MAC address randomization be supported , as in later IOS and Android ? How about optional spoofing of connection MAC as well as probe MAC ? Thanks

got any ios/android references you can link?

Qt 5.12?

[banderson5586]

@Aury88 Thanks! That looks like it's just for the openstore app though. Will developers have to make modifications as well or will the openstore do that for any app that can build?

[dobey]

@banderson5586 App developers will need to build and upload packages for other architectures, once OpenStore can support said architectures.

@Flohack Thank you for the answer. Yes, TEleports is more and more functionally stable and become better and better even if it is still called.. BETA
