Changelog

v2.2.5 2026-05-19
- Shebang Patching — all bin/ scripts patched to use #!/system/bin/sh (bypasses interpreter SELinux)
- Proot from APK nativeLib — uses proot directly from APK (apk_data_file SELinux label, always executable)
- Termux Integration — detects installed Termux, sends RUN_COMMAND to install tools
- F-Droid Fallback — opens Termux F-Droid page if not installed
- 3-Strategy Install — direct → proot → Termux RUN_COMMAND → manual instructions
v2.2.4 2026-05-19
- Bundled PRoot — proot binary included in APK as native library (executable SELinux label)
- Auto-Proot Install — copies proot + loader from APK to Termux prefix on first shell use
- Auto-Proot Wrapping — pkg/apt/dpkg commands automatically wrapped with proot
- PROOT_LOADER env — loader path set correctly for proot execution
- Supports arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86_64, x86 architectures
v2.2.3 2026-05-19
- Os.chmod() Fix — uses Android system call (chmod(2)) instead of Runtime.exec for reliable permissions
- PRoot Fallback — auto-downloads PRoot from Termux repo when SELinux blocks binary execution
- Shell Always /system/bin/sh — avoids Termux bash permission issues entirely
- Explicit sh Invocation — runs pkg/apt via "sh script" instead of direct execution
- installProot Plugin — downloads .deb, extracts proot binary with AR+tar parser
- Termux Fallback Guide — if all else fails, clear instructions to install Termux from F-Droid
v2.2.2 2026-05-19
- Permission Fix — chmod 755 on all bootstrap binaries after extraction (fixes "Permission denied")
- Shell Auto-Fallback — if bash permission denied, auto-falls back to system sh
- fixPermissions Plugin — new BootstrapPlugin.fixPermissions() callable from JS
- ensureBuildTools uses full paths to pkg/apt with chmod before execution
v2.2.1 2026-05-19
- Auto-Install Build Tools — aapt2/ecj/d8/apksigner auto-installed via pkg with full paths + retry logic
- Dev Tools Banner — warns on Coding/Agentic mode if tools missing, one-tap install button
- Bootstrap + Tools in One Tap — Install button auto-installs bootstrap then build tools
- Checks tool availability before every build, auto-installs if missing
v2.2.0 2026-05-19
- Build Pipeline Rewrite — proven 7-step pipeline: resources, link, compile R.java + sources, DEX, package, sign
- Auto-Install Build Tools — aapt2/ecj/d8/apksigner auto-installed via pkg on first build
- APK Signing — generates debug keystore (keytool or openssl), signs with apksigner
- 5-Minute Build Timeout — 10x longer for on-device compilation; kills stuck processes
- Fixed 18 Build Bugs — R.java now compiled, d8 uses @file not broken glob, proper error propagation
- Agentic IDE Loop — full tool→execute→verify→iterate cycle inspired by opencode/AIDE
v2.1.0 2026-05-19
- File Tree — per-session file tree shows all AI-generated files, view/edit/save from sidebar
- Auto-Continue — if AI stops mid-task, app auto-continues until task is confirmed complete
- Task Completion Protocol — AI outputs [TASK_COMPLETE] when done; app detects truncated responses
- File viewer with edit mode — modify and save files back to device
- Configurable max auto-continues (1–20, default 5) in Settings
v2.0.1 2026-05-19
- APK Verification — build output now verified: confirms APK file exists and shows size
- Stay Awake Fix — dual wake locks (screen bright + CPU) keep device fully awake during builds
- Configurable Retries — max auto-fix retries now adjustable (1–30) in Settings, default 10
v2.0.0 2026-05-19
- Built-in Termux — full Linux environment inside the app, no external Termux needed
- One-time download (~30MB) of Termux bootstrap (bash, coreutils, apt package manager)

- BootstrapPlugin — native download, extract, symlink, patch pipeline
- ShellPlugin upgraded — uses bundled bash instead of limited /system/bin/sh
- Install build tools via: pkg install aapt2 ecj dx apksigner

v1.4.0 2026-05-19
- Agentic feedback loop — build errors auto-sent back to AI for fixing (up to 3 retries)
- Termux integration — auto-detects Termux on device, uses its PATH (aapt2, d8, ecj, tsu)
