Installing LibreAAC for Android

LibreAAC supports Android 8.0 (API 26) and later.

Debug build

Build the APK as described in BUILD.md, enable developer options and USB debugging on the device, then run:

adb install -r app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk

The debug APK is signed with the local Android debug key and is intended only for development.

Release build

After configuring release signing and building as described in BUILD.md, install the signed release APK with:

adb install -r app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk

Do not install or distribute app-release-unsigned.apk; Android rejects APKs without a signing certificate.

Updates and data

Installing an update with the same application ID and signing key preserves the local vocabulary library. Uninstalling the application removes that protected local data. Save important vocabularies to user-controlled OBF/OBZ files before uninstalling or clearing app storage.

No network connection is required to run the installed app.

Application source, issue tracking and build documentation are available from the public LibreAAC for Android repository.
