@ITwrx This package intends to make ubports installer able to run without root.

So before you run this tool, you need to install android-udev and reboot entire system first, to make udev rule working.

android-udev package inludes tons of devices and vendors, which will make you able to run adb without root permission.

You can try to stop adb.service and try to run adb devices from terminal, to check if your device is working.

Tested v0.9.6_beta, and it's working fine for me:

@jimreynold2nd I can confirm that it works again, thanks!

@maltejur should be fixed now

Fails for me with install: cannot stat '/opt/ubports-installer/resources/app.asar.unpacked/node_modules/universalify/LICENSE': No such file or directory

@jussihi Do you mean while building/installing the package or while installing ubports?

When installing, I get the error "node: symbol lookup error: node: undefined symbol: nghttp2_option_set_max_outbound_ack"

EDIT: I had installed the "libnghttp2-git" instead of "nghttp2" package, after reverting to the one in official repos, it worked.

@fordprefect

electron4 is both depends and make depends for this package, as the wiki below stated, it should not be dupulicate in makedepends array. You should build this package with makepkg -s

An array of packages that are only required to build the software. The minimum dependency version can be specified in the same format as in the depends array. The packages in the depends array are implicitly required to build the package, they should not be duplicated here.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#depends

electron4 seems to be a buildtime dependency, as build fails without it being installed. please verify and add.

@bruceutut I hadn't noticed that i was using 0.2.5b-2 while the latest was 0.2.5.b-3. I upgraded and now it gets past the "starting adb server" part.

sorry for the trouble.

@brucetut i'm already using android-udev as per the arch wiki and my adb works fine without root or systemd service.
