Push Adguard to Amazon App Store #17
Comments
If you all could push the Beta separately (failing a Play-style testing opt-in) & then keep each religiously updated, that'd be appreciated. ☺ |
Do you mean push it simply as separate app? |
@Revertron has told me that Amazon has pretty similar beta versions feature as Play has. So I guess we can push it there. |
It does? This is news to me, as I've never known it to be used! Amazing! So, then, just 1 app listing, with a beta optin for whoever wants it, should suffice. |
From #22 (comment)
Ick, then a separate build than the official website 1? Or just 1 unified 1? I'm starting to feel sorry for thinking this would be a good thing! 😦 |
Yep, it will be a separate build, it cannot be unified. We have already done it once for Google Play. Anyway, we've almost finished with this task:) |
@Revertron, error still happens in non-amazon build:
|
I've added null check there but not sure if it's right |
@TPS we've pushed Adguard's beta to amazon app store. If you want to get beta releases we'll need your email. |
@ameshkov I've sent a note to @Revertron's e-mail for an unrelated issue, so he, being braver than you or I to post his contact info on GitHub, has my address. ;) & thanks! Also, is it listed beta only? I see no listing yet.… |
@TPS I've taken your address from support ticket ;) Sent an invitation. |
Oh, yeah, that works, too.… ☺ For the sake of the beta testing I've been doing on what will end up as 3 to 4 tickets simultaneously, which beta build is preferred? Direct download or Amazon (as I expect I can't run these in parallel)? Also, a few odd notes re: that invite itself that you all may not realize:
b. Be aware Appstore keeps licensing for each separate — test license doesn't work for release & vice versa — so only manually update version wanted! Don't "Update all" to keep license active. Now, I agree, none of those are your folks' issues, but, as you expand beta-testing, you should definitely know these! |
@TPS in fact all we need from amazon testing is the subscription and HD icon for the launcher. If the subscription and HD icon are okay - we are going to publish the "normal" apk to Amazon and consider this task done :) |
@Revertron I don't own a Fire, but use Amazon Appstore for my general Android device apps, along with GPlay & F-droid, but my only paid apps are via Amazon. Icon looks just fine to me, though. I went as far as hitting subscription option via Amazon, but aborted out before it could charge the $1.50 monthly. It sure looked like it wanted to charge, so I don't understand
Also, I thought there was a $9.95 yearly subscription, but I couldn't find that option.… |
@TPS the Fire has it's own launcher with app icons like 512x512 on a main screen. Clearly you can not test it :) About charging $1.5 - they state that it will look like normal subscription, but without real charging. About annual subscription - we didn't enable it for now, may be we will enable it in future. |
@Revertron Yep, worked as mentioned. ☺ Installed Amazon version on my ARM phone: VPN with premium works fine, & not charged for test subscription. Looks good! Now we need someone with a Fire device (preferably a tablet, as Amazon discontinued the phone last week). @Revertron Could you drop the latest build into Amazon? Is it this? |
Let's test subscription purchase one more time and close this issue. |
My subscription that I "purchased" is still active until Oct 15th, so I can't 'til then, I think. |
Another thing I just noticed: In the app, on the "Manage License" page, there's a note about sharing this single license across all Amazon-installed versions? If true, can it somehow also be shared across non-Amazon-installed versions (perhaps by putting licensing info in online AG account or some such)? That would make that $1.50 a month an awesome deal! If this isn't what's meant, then maybe reword that? |
As I understand you need an amazon underground app for this to work properly. And if you already have an amazon underground app then why not installing amazon version of Adguard?:) |
AFAIK, Amazon Underground apps have premium features enabled for users at no additional charge, &, @ this point in time, no charge @ all! (I've no understanding of Amazon's explanation of how anyone gets paid — any1 smarter than me is welcome to try if they promise to use words of ≤ 3 syllables. ;) Also, I'll let you all file the bug to explore enrolling AG in this, as more direct competition to AB+. I'm not talking about this @ all re: AG! I just wanted a bit of clarification of the "Manage License" page on the Amazon build. ☺ & perhaps #93 has some relation to this, also. |
Finally, it is available: |
@ameshkov @Revertron A few notes:
Should I file separate bugs for 2 & 4? Or should just exist as a kind of tracking bug? |
@TPS The problem is that between builds of amazon and our website version the filters were updated and our build system incremented version. There is no yearly subscription now. |
Let's file a bug for it, but I can't yet give you an ETA on this. |
@Revertron Thanks for the update! ☺ |
@ameshkov |
Yeah, amazon is slow as always:) |
Here we go again: |
Huh, i hope it will be available today |
@ameshkov I was reading through #17 (comment) because of #568, & it occurred to me that maybe my standing invite that you sent a long time ago might be expired (since still no update! 😢), so can you resend that invite via Amazon? |
@TPS seems that this is our mistake, the new version just was not submitted to beta test (it is in some intermediate "ready to submit" state now) |
I'll let you know when it pops ↑. |
Installed & running now.… Thanks! |
@ameshkov @Revertron @AdguardTeam The ß version is officially missing from Amazon.… What happened?! |
@TPS it is stuck in "processing" state for some unknown reason. Can't remove or re-upload it. We've sent a message to Amazon support today, but they are not really fast, you know. |
Ah, also while trying to do something, we've removed the previous beta build. It didn't help, but it might've resulted in the total beta absence.. |
Now Appstore wants to update, but it shows it's going to update from v2.9.70 to v2.9.70, which makes me think it wants to update ß → release, which has generally been unrecoverable (can't return to ß from release w/o uninstall/reinstall, @ least last time, which is no good w/o Can you confirm the version it wants to update to is release v2.9.70 or ß v2.9.111? |
Thanks, @AdguardTeam, I just got my new Tester invite. It's updating to ß v2.9.110, though 2.9.111 is detailed as "A hotfix for the v2.9.110 that contained a critical error." Based on that, I don't want to actually complete the update, just to cripple my AG installation! Please advise! |
Thanks, @AdguardTeam, I've now v2.9.111, & all is well. 🙇 |
