      Y'all know the drill, UBports Installer 0.5.6-beta needs your love! A snap package can be installed by running snap install ubports-installer --beta on any Linux distribution. Other packages are available on the release page.

      You can help us test this release on UBports OPEN-CUTS.

      Release notes

      This release adds support for additional configuration options when flashing fastboot images, such as --disable-verity (#1459). MacOS users can now quit the UBports Installer by pressing Cmd+Q (#1047). A bug has been fixed that prevented the installer from reading absolute paths to config files (#1320) using the -f option. A new step manual_download has been added, to support downloading files with licensing restrictions that make it impossible to re-host them on our own servers for automatic downloading (#1456).

      Experimental automatic reporting

      Experimental automatic reporting has been added recently. Please check the instructions here to learn more.

      Notes for Developers

      manual_download step

      The manual_download configuration step has the following structure:

              {
                "type": "manual_download",
                "condition": {"var": "bootstrap", "value": true},
                "group": "firmware",
                "file": {
                  "name": "package.json",
                  "url": "https://github.com/ubports/installer-configs/blob/master/package.json",
                  "checksum": {
                    "sum": "907f030a2e37c99dc8b0cfbf42f95213ef95b2e6714900ec002b213fad4672a6",
                    "algorithm": "sha256"
                  }
                }
              }
      

      fastboot flash flags

      Additional flags for fastboot flash can be set in the fastboot:flash action for every file individually. The raw option tells the installer to use the fastboot flash:raw command rather than fastboot flash. The flags option takes in an array with additional flags. Use caution when selecting these flags. Make sure you actually need them; don't just add everything. If you're using flags, do so because it's the only option to make it work.

              {
                "type": "fastboot:flash",
                "condition": {"var": "bootstrap", "value": true},
                "flash": [
                  {
                    "partition": "boot",
                    "file": "halium-unlocked-recovery_dora.img",
                    "group": "firmware",
                    "raw": true
                  },
                  {
                    "partition": "recovery",
                    "file": "halium-unlocked-recovery_dora.img",
                    "group": "firmware",
                    "flags": ["--disable-verity", "--disable-verification", "--force"]
                  }
                ]
              }
