AWTK Studio can not be downloaded

[paulie-g]

Hello :)

Unforunately, awtk.zlg.cn and the developer community sections of your website are not accessible (DNS NXDOMAIN). So AWTK Studio can not be downloaded and the demo links in the README are broken.

I see that you've made some Studio builds accessible on Baidu Netdisk, but it requires an account to download anything and that account can not be created outside of China (requires a China mobile number).

Additionally, making AWTK Studio, particularly the .deb package, publicly downloadable would allow packagers for other distributions, Arch in my case, to package it from the .deb. I understand that you might not be targeting the non-Chinese developer audience at this time, but this project is very interesting and promising. You have already open sourced the toolkit on internationally accessible platforms, so it would make sense to make tooling available too.

Hello, AWTK and AWStudio are designed for globalization, and I am unable to reproduce this issue. I have tried using agents from the United States, United Kingdom, France, Japan, South Korea, and Indonesia to access and download them normally.

Can you tell me which country or region's network you are using?

Alternatively, you can try switching to a different browser or computer to download it.

Please accept my apologies for an insufficiently diagnosed report. AS701 (Verizon in US, very large wired/wireless telco and business and consumer ISP) appears to not be routing traffic to at least 175.178.241.0/24. They're nullrouting it at the first hop on ingress from me, meaning they most likely have it in their bogons list (bogons lists are lists of ip address ranges which have not yet been assigned or are not in use and should therefore not be routed, used to drop a priori invalid traffic) or threat-based bogons list. It appears I need to complain to them that what they're selling me is not full transit (but I don't hold out much hope, I'm not a big customer).

You may want to consider a CDN or a free file hosting site that's not Baidu Netdisk in the meantime. Alternatively, you can try notifying Tencent Cloud that (part of) their ip space is being nullrouted by a large US eyeball network - they ought to be offended enough by this to contact Verizon's NOC to get it resolved.

Sadly, AW Studio requires registration with a phone number. A US +1 number doesn't work, no SMS arrives, so verification can not be completed.

You also ought to know that FOSS developers won't like either the registration requirements or the root privileges Studio asks for, presumably to generate a machine footprint.

Thank you for your suggestion. We will consider CDN solutions.
You can now download AWStudio V1.2.2 from Baidu Cloud Drive:

In addition, AWStudio requires mobile phone registration as part of our company's business strategy, which is not easy to change. We will re-examine the registration issue of foreign mobile phone numbers.

AWStudio is just an auxiliary design software, not necessary for developing and running AWTK applications, but you can still easily obtain the full source code of AWTK from GitHub.
