        I really like the Mahjongg app Mah. Unfortunately, it seems to be missing in 20.04 focal.
        The page on OpenStore:
        https://open-store.io/app/net.gsantner.ut.mahjonggmah
        Does anyone how to contact the publisher Gregor Santner?

            The app publisher replied as follows:

            *Hello,

            the device I have can't be updated to Ubuntu Touch 20.04. And I neither
            use utouch currently.
            Note that this game is a repackage of / a wrapper for existing open
            source Mahjong web app project mentioned in the description,
            so should not be too hard for anybody interested to pick it up and
            release updated/improved versions of it.

            Not sure but generally the app should be possible to install/work also
            on other utouch versions, as all it contains are files to load in a
            "webview" (so html/css/js/img files).
            There is no compiled binary in it.

            Gregor*

              I just tried, and the app can be installed on 20.04 in an alternative way (see Note) and it works.
              I will ask the maintainer of OpenStore if they can add it.

              Note: this is not the official way to install, and it gives a warning, so probably not try it. I did, just to see if it would install on 20.04 and if it would work.

              • Go to https://open-store.io/app/net.gsantner.ut.mahjonggmah
              • Click Download > Xenial download
              • Open your Downloads folder and click the file
                -Choose Open with OpenStore
                -Install and ignore warning

                If a developer could port on UT (soft +18) classic fun PILSNER URQUELL BEER GAME (androïd) it would be fine too.

                  @domubpkm : I don't know about porting of Android apps. Maybe you can start a new thread to maybe interest a dev in this app.

                    I just learned (from Maciek at the OpenStore telegram group) that the app still needs to be modified, OpenStore won't accept a click file for 16.04 because it targets a different system version, even if you can install it manually.
                    He pointed me to the UT App Dev telegram group and advised me to make my own modified version.
                    Unfortunately, I really don't have the time.
                    If anyone who reads this has time to make and publish a version for 20.04 on OpenStore?
