Having troubles developing an app for UT, any good tutorials out there? - ragreenburg - 08-16-2020

I've seen the "Introduction to Clickable" that they have on the UT website but that's about it as far as tutorials go. Anyone know of any decent tutorials for building apps on UT? I am have been treading water on this and feel like there aren't any good resources for people trying to build apps on UT which would explain why almost everything is a webapp instead of a native app.

What language are you looking to write apps in, I've made a couple of qml/python ones that don't work on the pinephone due to apparmor denying access to sqlite libraries...

I was trying to use QML but would have preferred to just use Python because that's the language I know the most of. That sucks though, UT is devoid of apps and I was just hoping to make a running calendar app.

You have to use qml for the GUI stuff, then you can use python on the back end

I've made 3 apps so far, bit of a learning curve:

Thanks for the info. Looking at how much work you put into those apps I don't know if I am quite good enough for that yet.

Just remember that 64bit python libraries may not work until ubports guys fixes apparmor issues...

Thanks for the heads-up. Are you using UT on the PinePhone as your daily driver?

Not many flights per day are allowed in due to corona virus...
