Hi All,
I have what I imagine to be a very common problem: 1. There will be billions of people who own smartphones. 2. I have a 100% native Linux C++ app that I would like a few of those billions of people to use. These are my future customers. 3. I do not necessarily want to use an app store of any kind, if I choose not to use any. 4. I would like for my customers to decide, at their own discretion, whether to side-load my native app onto their smartphone by going to my web site, and not an app store. 5. I would like to avoid having my customers call my tech-support line and listen on the phone for 30 minutes as one of my tech-support representatives tells him/her how to root their phone so that they can side-load my app. In other words, I would like the same situation that exists now under the desktop model, where anyone who owns a desktop computer has full discretion of what they do with their computer, without (significant) restrictions from the OS vendor. I understand that Jolla allows 100% true native C++ apps, but I was unable to determine, with a quick search on the WWW, whether Jolla allows 100% native C++ apps under the acquisition model above. Can anyone clarify? Is it true that the owner of a Jolla smartphone will be able to determine for himself/herself whether to side-load a third-party native application without jumping through hoops to bypass restrictions created by the OS? Regards, -Nut
