APM Now Supports Linux: Expanded Capabilities and Key Updates

Great news for developers! APM has been updated to fully support Linux operating systems. This means you can now use APM to install and manage libraries, extensions, and application descriptors in Linux-based development environments. This long-awaited feature enhances APM’s versatility and makes it even more accessible to a broader range of developers.

What’s New in This Update?

In addition to Linux support, this update brings several important fixes and feature enhancements, including:

  • Feature: Added full Linux implementation for APM (Resolves #148).
  • Feature: Improved error reporting by adding descriptions of parameters that caused app-descriptor generation failures (Resolves #188).
  • Bug Fix: Resolved an issue where configuration settings were being removed after a package update (Resolves #209).
  • Android Updates:
    • Updated the manifest merge client to version 31.9.0.
    • Fixed an issue where Java output from manifest merging was causing XML errors (Resolves #164).
    • Added the ability to pass through “tools” requests to the app descriptor, ensuring proper handling during ADT packaging (Resolves #219).

Why This Matters

With the introduction of Linux support, APM is now a more powerful tool for developers across different operating systems. Whether you're working in Windows, macOS, or Linux, you can now seamlessly manage your libraries and application descriptors using APM.

These updates also enhance stability, making package updates smoother and reducing potential configuration issues. The Android-related improvements further refine the development workflow, ensuring better compatibility and handling of manifest files.
