An error like this usually means the app isn't compatible with the processor in your phone. To spare you the gory details and words like "CPU Architecture" it comes down to the processor in your phone speaking a different machine language than the one the app is written in. This usually means that your phone is either too old, too new, or too weird. Unfortunately this can't be fixed with a software update, the app has to be "compiled" again for your hardware. Knowing what phone or tablet you have might help, but the problem then arrises that you have two or more versions of the app and the user has to know enough about their phone to know what version to download. If the words "CPU Architecture" from before are all greek and swahili to you, then imagine trying to figure out by yourself what version out of five or six options has the correct architecture. This is why app stores like Google Play and F-Droid exist, as they will figure this out for you, but then you have to meet their terms and conditions in order to have your app listed, which may not be worth it for indie or hobby developers.
I reserve the right to be completely wrong, however. Android doesn't like telling the user what the problem is, only that there exists a problem.
If you want to get a taste of the headache that is the computer, you could always try to make the Linux version work in the Termux app. I somehow doubt your success as I doubt my own success, but you'll at least come away with unfathomable knowledge of computers.
What's the worse that can happen? You break your system and have to reinstall Termux? Just don't trust anyone that tells you to run anything that reads like "sudo rm -rf /*"
Me too. I understand the headache of development for multiple platforms and CPU archetectures, I mean you think choosing between Intel and AMD is hard, but at least they both speak the same machine language. Try writing for that *and* ARM *and now* RISC-V wants to join in! But it would be nice to have unmaintained versions still available to download. (Mind you, that seems to be the fault of Itch and not Ziul).
As far as I can tell, Itch doesn't allow users to download prior versions. I realise you aren't maintaining the android version anymore, but for reasons unknown I can't run the web version at all (just a blank page with no activity). Would it be possible to provide final versions of the APK, if not here then somewhere else, for us to use?
Life hack: people usually give you free money if you offer to do quests for them. When you start out these will often be low level and maybe a bit grindy, washing a car may be a common one, also mowing a lawn, but as people begin to trust you more they may give you fetch quests. Also, if you have a proficiency in certain skills, you may be able to make this known to people, and they may have special quests for that skill, like repairing an item or constructing something. A long time ago, in the 90s (formative years of gaming slang) this was called "bob a job" as you would be given a "bob" (slang for a type of coin) in return for completing the quest.
Apple make you jump through hoops to become an iOS developer, including making you pay a monthly amount just for a licence to develop for the App Store. This could be circumvented if users were willing to jailbreak their devices, but it's a little risky just to play one game. I wouldn't recommend that unless you're a nerd.
As for an Android emulator, I know there are things like Anbox for computers, and other things that run "desktop" software, but at that point you might as well just use the desktop version of the game.
Hi, I'm having trouble extracting the RAR file: when I try to unrar it I am simply given the error "unknown archive type, only plain RAR 2.0 supported", and when I try with 7z I get a number of errors to the tune of "Unsupported method : Soft Fantasies/path/to/file.xyz" and most of the extracted files are 0 bytes long. I can easily open most other archive formats, so I'd like to know if you have any plans to publish this using a .tar.gz or a .zip format
