The UBports Installer is an electron application to install Ubuntu Touch on Android devices using adb and fastboot. We were approved for raw-usb a while back, but thanks to @zyga-snapd and the new adb-support interface, there is now a much more elegant way of taking care of business. I would like to request auto-connection of adb-support for the ubports-installer. The authorization for raw-usb can be revoked, as far as my tests go.
+1, reading the rationale and reply from @zyga-snapd it looks entirely reasonable and desirable to auto-connect this interface, since that’s the main purpose of ubports-installer.
Well, Android Studio is a classic snap, so doesn’t really use any interfaces
Wonder if there will ever be an interface for a “text editor” or would it even make sense, should that happen it will make sense to move IDEs/TextEditors to strict confinement.
Yeah, we’re in the comfortable situation where we don’t have to read/write in the file system other than .cache, so strict confinement works for us.
But i’m curious @om26er, how do you set udev rules then? Because this gets easily overlooked, when they’re already set by the adb deb package also being installed on the system (happened to us as well :D). So you might want this interface after all.
Thanks for the positive reviews, everyone. A new version with raw-usb removed and adb-support added is now live on the stable channel. Is there anything else you need from me to make this official?
