Google to enforce 30% take from in-app purchases next year

Been looking at purchasing a Linux phone and moving away from Android. Any chance that adventure pilot may be wanting to support a Linux distribution?

I would expect not. There's currently no Linux platform that would serve as an effective cockpit tool. Certainly not one with enough market penetration to make it worthwhile for AP to dedicate development resources to support it.

I believe Cobra is correct. But that said -- iFly is definitely written to be very portable.... we run on 4 platforms now with 98% the same code. It's possible that we could run on Linux too without too much work. However, I have a feeling that Linux has been left-behind, and may have notable deficiencies and nuances that may prevent us from supporting it. And as Cobra mentioned, there would also need to be a trend of users actually WANTING Linux support.
