Hi Bjoern,

Sailfish OS has a own store called "Jolla Store". Is shipped with the installation by default. And yes, there are also Android apps allowed. Also there is a third party store called "Open Repos" https://openrepos.net But there is no Android app only native Linux mobile apps.

At the DC forum I've posted a feature proposal about a native mobile Linux app in future. It's because a growing number of distros jumping on mobile. There we currently have Postmarked OS, Manjaro, UBPorts, KDE mobile, Purism, Sailfish OS. So it can be a good idea to think about to work outside of a Android emulation like Alien Dalvik or Anbox.

Also Google creates more pressure on the AOSP project. SafetyNet, PlayServices (Gapps) and many more extensions are needed by the apps to run on Android. So we see a slowly dying of the Android Open Source Kernel.

Currently the F-droid store is the only safe harbor. All other apps are gambling if they work or not.

Hope I was able to show my position why it can be important to have native apps for mobile Linux in near future. :-)

--M.

hi Martin,

thank you for your post.

it is good to know, that Delta Chat Android also runs on a Jolla Phone 
with Sailfish OS - in fact, i did not know that :)

is there an app store or sth. like that?

however, of course, we are interesting in keeping the current state, 
however, as far as i know, no one of the devs have a Sailfish OS nor is 
it tested somehow - so, if you notice some arising problems, please let 
us know.  to find out potential problems before new versions are 
released, you can also join our Testing Group (a Delta Chat group :) - 
please just let me know, if you are interested.

alternatively, we usually also inform about testing released on IRC 
#deltachat (i know, it would be good if that happens also here or in the 
forum, however, in the past, it did not :)

best -
bjoern

Greetings to the list,

first but not least: A great many thanks for this great masterpiece of
software - Chapeau!

I am very grateful that this software runs on my Jolla 1 phone
(manufactured 2014, running Sailfish OS (
https://sailfishos.org/
) with
android support.
It would be great if you keep it this way, keeping the needed Android
API version the way it is...
This way it is not necessary to have a native Sailfish OS client.
Everything works as expected, fully satisfied!

Keep up the good work!

Martin, Germany
