Re issues with key pasting: turned out that UT doesn't support copy&paste in regular QQC2 text fields. The issue was solved by switching over to the text field provided by Ubuntu Components. This will be fine in the next release, so you may wait for that as well with the key, I think.

I was too impatient and couldn't wait for the next update, so I entered my Mapbox API key manually.

Since a free account allows 50,000 requests a month, could I reuse the same API key among devices? Could I share it with relatives? This latter question is hypothetical, currently no relative of mine has a device they could install Pure Maps on.

I created an access token with default settings: all public scopes checked, and no secret scopes nor URL restrictions. Is that OK?

Also, is there a way to make sure this key is used, other than see it in the preferences?

Why not on Flathub: Number of users is expected to be smaller at Flathub.

Thanks for the clarification.

BTW I noticed a bug with Navigation using a GPX file: the file open dialog (which looks like a default desktop file dialog) does not see the contents of the /home/phablet/ folder. Tapping on the Cancel button does nothing, and if I press the big Home icon at the top, a new window with huge text opens. The only way to close those two dialog windows is to swipe right from left to open the preview of currently opened apps and swipe them away. I will open an issue on Github tomorrow along with screenshots, if Github allows it.

FYI we discussed it here: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3056/gps-apps

Edit: would it be useful for you to get a UbuntuTouch device to test your app on? I wonder if we (the community) could provide you one. I'd be willing to pitch in. Or maybe you'd rather not, and wish for somebody to assume packaging on UT?
