Title: Apps running within the chrome browser
Post by: Christian on October 04, 2014, 12:32:58
Hi guys,
This info (http://www.slashgear.com/archon-runs-android-apps-on-any-platform-via-chrome-browser-21347303/) is running through the internet. Seems that Google wants to conquer the desktops by an Add-on.
So it is still a beta and I guess authentication via Google play will not work up to now.
But I'm very interested in running Locus in a browser instead of a heavy installation of a virtual box to use it for planing tours.
So question is will @menion supports adapted APK? And if yes... when?
Christian

hmm nice surprise. Looks interesting, but from post is not clear what devs has to do to modify their apps. Let`s give it some time, and I`m sure, soon or later will be possible to run also a Locus. They write about problem with missing Google Services, which is fortunately not a problem here. Locus is also created that may completely run without any GPS or other sensors, so I see no general problem. So major problem will remain missing sync between Locus instances ... I know ...

For adapting you need the ARChon Packager  (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.bpear.archonpackager) and twerk (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/twerk/jhdnjmjhmfihbfjdgmnappnoaehnhiaf?hl=en).
Good to know that you are interested also ;)
I will keep an eye on this development and hope for a smooth implementation of all needed modules.
