Love2D Exporter Online

[Snake174rus]

Hi All!

I make online tool for build games created by the Love2D game engine under the platforms Windows, Android, Mac OS X and Linux (not implemented yet).

Site working in test mode. Server will be available from Monday till Friday in period from 7:00 to 16:00 by Moscow.

Need to test Android and Mac because I'n not shure that it will be works with obfuscated code. On Windows games run normally.

Hi
I tried out your exporter tool.
The windows file worked normal. The android file I could not get to work. I am not so familiar with phone/android stuff, so maybe problem on my side.

Phone: Galaxy S4 Mini GT-I9195
Android version: 4.4.2

Attached is the file GOLtestAndroid.apk that exporter created.
(changed file extenstion only for upload to GOLtestAndroid.apk.zip so forum would allow it)

Below is written what I tried:

1) In security settings allowed install from unsafe sources.
Like explained at https://www.androidpit.com/android-for- ... n-apk-file

2) Connected phone to PC with USB, copied GOLtestAndroid.apk to a folder on sdcard

3) On phone used ES-file-explorer to show the apk file.
It shows up with the icon I uploaded in exporter-tool.

4) Clicked the .apk file, results in screen:
"LÖVE for Android
Would you like to install an update for this existing app?
Your existing data is preserved. The update app gains access to:
[New] [ALL]
(under ALL is some list like 'read/write files' / 'control vibration' etc)

[Cancel] [Install]"

5) Press Install
Says "installing..." for 2 seconds, then:
App has not been installed [OK]
..
No clue what to do now?
I already had the "LÖVE for Android" from play-store installed, and that works for testing 'not packed' löve projects.

/edit
after some more googling:
Seems maybe problem with the phone settings
Appearently in android there is a menu to set prefered installation path for apps? But I could not find that.

I have same problem too. On emulator and real device.

Working...

16 July this site will be closed!

Hm, that is pity. Idea of such exporter seems really good.
(I have not tried the other instructions on https://love2d.org/wiki/Game_Distribution for android-distribution yet, but just from reading them I know it will be a painful journey. Especially the linux one, since I do not use arch but ubuntu.)

Unfortunately it's not up to me.

Goog luck

This tutorial looks outdated. It uses JDK 7. I have tried to install JDK 7 and JDK 6 but only with JDK 8 I was able to compile the apk file.

Nice!
This would be even cooler if it could export to HTML5 with love.js.
