How to add an homemade app to the main screen?
#1
Hi,
I have written my first Kivy app for my pinephone running latest mobian. I run it launching it from a console...
I spend half a day wondering how to add an icon for it on my phosh phone and did not found any documentation about that topic.
Do you have any doc or pointer?
Thanks
Jean-Charles
