I'd love to have Scratch 3.0 as a mobile app but I feel that with the current resolution (480 x 360) of Scratch projects, it just wouldn't fit well, especially with touch screen control optimized projects.

People rotate their phones to play Scratch projects online. IT WOULD WORK JUST FINE

Hey Uhh are you still working on this? if so, then can you send me the link to the github?

 
when I receive [respond time v]
wait until <you respond to me>
say [ok v]
wait until <link sent>

It Exists But Only for Powerful Phones and Tablets.






Look at Google Play And you will see it.

I don't have much knowledge about the 3.0 mobile app - almost never used it - but I assume it doesn't let you connect with the community..? Please correct me if I'm wrong here, guys.

Yes, it's only the editor.

Thanks for the clarification.

Even if an app gets made with community-related stuff implemented, would it be possible to integrate all those features into a mobile app?

Sorry, I'm not eligible for GitHub.

The conversation has picked back up, so let's do this thing.

I wanna go cross platform, Android and iOS. Although that will be tricky. I have Xamarin for Visual Studio 2019, which supports iOS and Android, but to test iOS, you need to have a Mac. I don't have a Mac, but I think there's a Visual Studio App Center thing that lets you test your apps on real mobile devices. I don't even really get Xamarin Forms, it's really complicated.

Apple is strict about programming language apps in their store.

2.5.2 Apps should be self-contained in their bundles, and may not read or write data outside the designated container area, nor may they download, install, or execute code which introduces or changes features or functionality of the app, including other apps. Educational apps designed to teach, develop, or allow students to test executable code may, in limited circumstances, download code provided that such code is not used for other purposes. Such apps must make the source code provided by the Application completely viewable and editable by the user. (source)

But what if we DON'T put the app on their store?

We can host it on this website called Diawi. It's free to use and simple too! All we have to do is upload the .ipa file (aka the app file) and upload the link! All they need to do is click the link and hit “Install App”.

That's our plan. To put the iOS version on Diawi.

I don't know if much people will trust some random website that hosts applications - I wouldn't install it from there even if the Scratch Team linked to it. I'm pretty sure there are some overprotective parents out there that don't allow their children to.

Putting it on the iOS store would be a lot wiser, yet that's impossible.

That's how you get a virus and all of your personal information about you and everyone you love compromised to some cheapskate across the globe.

Actually, many people have used Diawi for their apps (mainly testing, but that doesn't mean we have to use it for testing!)

Alright yall, I've changed my mind. We aren't using Diawi, so no iOS app

There already is a scratch mobile!

WHOA WHO KNEW but we need a community app. I don't think you can view other projects, you can only make and share projects. SHOULD we actually make our own scratch app with community functionality? I NEED VOTES!!!!!!!!

Wait, I'm new to this stuff, I have a game I wanna make mobile, how do i do it?? Btw no the phone im using cannot download scratch, only that crappy scratchjr

I acually think you should have two things: a pc app to upload all the scratch mobile stuff, and the download for the phone game. If anyone knows how to do this stuff, like with servers or something, lemme know

And I think the phone app should be just the playing stuff, coding on a mobile device is hard, uncomfortable, and, quite frankly, annoying. You can still have games shared on your account, but you can't look inside the games, you can just playtest them. All of this because we need it to be available for older, lower end devices that most kids use, and because it trims down the amount of coding and transferring needed. If i'm being dumb, call me out, but I think this just might work!
