@Aury88 I think that many devs in the openstore, link to things like Librepay, Patreon and coffee anyways, so I dont think its there own website, but I'm sure some people will be tricky.

I think that'd be one of the bigger benefits if openstore did have a payment option tho, you wouldn't have to sign up to loads of different websites to give money to devs which will be a sticking point for some people.

Like maybe I want to give money to the podbird developers, but do I want my info to go to ANOTHER website, especially if I'll only use it for that, then it might get hacked and I wont think about it or notice it because I used it once to donate to podbird?

@Benoit said in Paid proprietary apps on Open Store?:

So by proprietary, I only mean not open source

That's still confusing the point, why would you make payment's only open to proprietary app, but not to Open Source, GPL apps?

The suggestion in your post is that you should have an option to pay for proprietary apps, but not open source apps, however, I think if you make an open source, gpl, free software app, you should be allowed to charge for it via a store.

Perhaps you wont get much out of it, because someone could just fork it and put it up under a different name, but that's beside the point.

However in the openstore, we do have donation options for app developers, if you throw a few bones in there, then that'll promote the development of OSS on the platform, and if they use things like patreon, then you can use there monthly donations as a way to show that there is money in developing Ubuntu Touch apps.

however, this is going into a different argument, however, you can absolutely promote app development, via donations atm.

I would also like to see the option for paid Open source, GPL software and proprietary software at some point, but perhaps as flo said, there's more hurdles then previously thought.

Perhaps the future will hold some other solutions for us.

I think as others have said, you're mixing issues, many proprietary apps are completely free when it comes down to money, and many opensource apps ask for payment, I say many, I dont know to many, but I know they exist, I can use the example of Converstaions.

Conversations is a completely open source application, which if you wish to get the app on the google play store, will cost you £2.99 I believe, however, you could also compile it, or download it from f-droid for free.

The Ubuntu Store also had apps like ureadit which you could download for free, and ureadit(dev) which was about £2.99.

I think we should absolutely have it as an option in the openstore, I think how we deal with it with open source apps is a different thing, of cause you should be able to select if your app is free or charged for when you upload it to the store, but in ways of donations, or having free stable versions and paid beta versions, would have to be considered.

Theres also the question of, how that purchase would be carried over to your other linux distros, which use there own stores, and don't use click, for example, fluffychat is in the snap store, if the fluffychat team decided to charge, would a user have to pay twice, once for mobile and once for the snap store?

Qt 5.12?

@nobhobbor they are in the ubports installer, so it should be just as easy or hard to install on the OP3 as the OP1.

Though after the install, it is harder to use with the fact that there aren't to many arm64 apps available, there's no openstore, hopefully we'll get it in the not to distant future, but that's not got anything to do with installing the OS, but installing applications on the OS.

I'm assuming that's the miscommunication, however if I'm wrong then please correct me!

@ziggutas I had to reboot into the recovery again before it would send.

Now that we have arm64 builds in the ubports installer, it's a lot easier for people to install and test arm64 applications.

If anyone has any apps they'd like to be tested on arm64 please reply here with a file/link to a file.

This may also be a good place to talk about hurdles compiling apps for arm64.

Thanks you

Have you ported it to the Huawei P20 lite?

QUESTION: This is aimed at Dalton, are your legs good again yet?

@tera The lack of indicators at the top, suggests to me, that this is a port rather than a "Mock up" or a picture of a screenshot from another device, however, I can't know that for sure.

I hope it is real, perhaps they might come up with some software solutions to deal with the notch, and if they can propose a solution thats acceptable to the ubuntu touch folks, it might mean a lot more devices will be able to be ported to!
