Provide as native Android app?

[dev-rke]

Hi,

might it be possible to provide this application also as native Android app?
This could improve the installation and updating process of additional apps.
And you are able to fetch device specific information (user agent, GSF ID) by reading them directly from the device.

Are there some special reasons why this application has been developed for desktop only?

Ok, just stumbled over https://github.com/yeriomin/YalpStore, which seems to provide this kind of functionality. :-)

Several:

• I like having a backup of my apps on my harddrive (not enough space on the phone; no guarantee that i can redownload when I buy a new phone).
• I want to be able to have a closer look at an APK before installing it. That's easier on the desktop.
• The protobuf lib I use is so massive, that it crashed Eclipse's Android plugin.
• Raccoon provides a lot of extra goodies that go beyond being an APK downloader.
