I have been trying to compile my Electron app into either an APK or an IPA, but I have had trouble doing this. If I can't do it, I was wondering if I can convert a .exe file to a .apk or something similar.
I've tried using electron-builder as it says it can export to .apk, but it won't work saying that the file is corrupted (tried exporting to arm64, x64, and armv7l). I was seeing that Apache Cordova supports Electron, but I can't find a way to migrate an existing Electron app to it.
Someone told me I can add a packager.json file but it won't work even with that. This is my packager.json:
{
"electron_version": 5,
"name": "random app name",
"version": "1",
"description": "random app description",
"background": {
"scripts": ["index.js"],
"persistent": true
},
"permissions": [
"camera",
"microphone",
"<clipboard>"
]
}
This is my current package.json I have currently:
{
"name": "random app name",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "random app description",
"main": "main.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
"build": "./node_modules/.bin/electron-builder",
"postinstall": "./node_modules/.bin/electron-builder install-app-deps",
"start": "electron ."
},
"build": {
"appId": "com.random.app",
"productName": "Random App",
"copyright": "© 2024 Random App",
"mac": {
"icon": "renderers/img/logo.png"
},
"win": {
"icon": "renderers/img/logo.png"
},
"linux": {
"icon": "renderers/img/logo.png",
"category": "AudioVideo"
}
},
"keywords": [
"social",
"video",
"community"
],
"devDependencies": {
"electron": "^28.2.1",
"electron-builder": "^24.12.0"
},
"dependencies": {
"@sentry/electron": "^4.17.0",
"axios": "^1.6.7",
"jwt-decode": "^4.0.0",
"keytar": "^7.9.0",
"os": "^0.1.2",
"url": "^0.11.3"
},
}
(i shortened the package.json a little bit to fit)
If anyone can help, please let me know. Thank you!
