Finally, to let Phosh know your application supports phones, add this to your desktop entry:
X-Purism-FormFactor=Workstation;Mobile;

More information here: https://adrienplazas.com/blog/2020/10/15/specify-form-factors-in-your-librem-5-apps.html

That's it! 😄

In most cases, this boils down to adding:
<recommends>
<control>keyboard</control>
<control>pointing</control>
<control>touch</control>
</recommends>
<requires>
<display_length compare="ge">360</display_length>
</requires>

More info here: https://blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2021/09/07/ready-for-software-41/

Also add the non-standard PureOS Store-specific hardware support information for some transition period:
<custom>
<value key="Purism::form_factor">workstation</value>
<value key="Purism::form_factor">mobile</value>
</custom>

If your application works on GNOME phones like the Librem 5, please add the relevant metadata to your appdata file and to your desktop entry.

It will let Phosh, GNOME Software 41 and PureOS Store 41 know your application works on phones.

Use the new standardized AppStream hardware support information to your appdata: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Metadata.html#tag-requires-recommends

GNOME Software and PureOS Store will use this to let users of your application know if it works on their hardware.

The first version of Metronome is out, get it on Flathub!

https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.adrienplazas.Metronome

No idea if that is useful to any of you, but you can enable touch support in Firefox from Flathub with this command:

sudo flatpak override --env=MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 org.mozilla.firefox

I've been working on Highscore to add a setting to render games in HD! When enabled, 3DS, Dreamcast, GameCube and N64 will be rendered as closely as possible to 1080p!

Oh in case you didn't know, Highscore is the new identity of GNOME Games. 😁

Oh hi, don't pay attention, I'm just building the future version of @gnome Software in Builder on my Librem 5, with the help of my fellow assistants.

Libadwaita 1.0.0-alpha.2 is out!

It comes with a brand new flat and stylesheet whose accent color is settable by the app devs! 🌈

See our alpha.1→alpha.2 guide: https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libadwaita/doc/main/migrating-between-development-versions.html

Or start porting from GTK 3 and libhandy: https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libadwaita/doc/main/migrating-libhandy-1-4-to-libadwaita.html

I wrote about how Purism helps transforming GNOME since over 3 years, and how it's all just the start!

And a huge shoutout to @exalm who almost single-handedly developed it, polished it, and brought it to you!

Libadwaita 1.0.0-alpha.1 is out!
