Continuing on my journey to update about 200 Ubuntu Touch apps from Xenial to Focal, I once again released two more apps on the open-store. Pulse-app is an application for tracking your pulse over time, and PopThatWrap! is an entertaining application where you simply pop fake bubble wrap... it even makes the sound for you and counts how many bubbles you've popped!
Of course, I typically fork the repositories, update them and test them on my Fair Phone 4, and then make pull requests, but these apps were launchpad apps, as you can see from their original code repositories here:
Original PopThatWrap! sourcecode
So, instead I downloaded the code with $ bzr branch lp:pulse-app and $ bzr branch lp:pop-that-wrap and did my usual updates and testing. Then I used launchpad to email the original developer to ask how to proceed.
After a few days of waiting, the original developer actually emailed me back and gave me permission to fork the project and update them on the open-store! I went ahead and created my repositories on Gitlab to make a new release on the open-store for these apps. You can find them here:
PopThatWrap! repository Pulse-app repository
And now there are two more on the open-store! If you want to follow along with my journey, here is a little table of my progress so far:
| Apps | Numbers |
|---|---|
| Released on Open-Store | 10 |
| Updated to Focal | 25 |
| Cannot Update | 20 |
| Total | 199 |
| Percentage complete | 22.6% |
Linux - keep it simple.
