Hide.me app on Volla Phone

[Jan 1]

Hi,

it seems as if hide.me is listed on the ubports website as an available app. However, the app is not available in the open store.

when i tick on the button on the ubports website, the open store opens on my phone but there is no app.

when i tick on 'Download', the github opens. But then i do not know how to continue...

Any ideas, advise....? Regards, Jan

I don't have a focal device so I can't try from my phone open store app, but when I try to download it from open store website it works.
From here : https://open-store.io/app/hideme.eventure/versions

@Jan-1 Hello, I am on focal and when I search for "hide.me" on the OpenStore-App, the VPN app shows up and I can directly install it from the OpenStore. It also shows up, when I search for it on open-store.io.

You should also be able to install every .click file by clicking/touching on it (in the file manager) and selecting the OpenStore-App: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/6335/how-do-i-install-click-clickable-packages-outside-of-the-openstore

@Jan-1 What device are you using? The app will not show up in the OpenStore and maybe not install, if you are using a device, that is still on Xenia (16.04).

@Jan-1 @johndoe
My suspicion is that you're using a device that is still based on Xenial.

The Hide.me app is only available on focal, that's the most probable reason why you can see it in the open-store website and not on your device.

That is mine too, reason why I mentioned and bolted "focal device", but I suspect it was not clear enough
