androidstudio.app's Issues

Downloading Android Studio fails

When doing

        cd /Applications/Developer
        git clone https://github.com/darkoverlordofdata/AndroidStudio.app.git

and then opening the application bundle, this happens:

Most likely this is because AndroidStudio.app/AndroidStudio doesn't know how to download Android Studio?
The way the Python script works: It checks whether the file in Resources/executable is already part of the local system, and uses pkg to install the package(s) in Resources/packages if it isn't; then runs the file in Resources/executable.

I have never thought of putting something from within the local application bundle into Resources/executable, as this kinda defeats the purpose. If there is a legitimate use case for this, then at least we should find a way to do this without hardcoding the full absolute path since application bundles are supposed to be moved around in the filesystem and still work.

download the AndroidStudio tarball at https://developer.android.com/studio

The instructions are unclear. Which exact tarball and where to put it.
Imho the installer should do this, and show a nice progress bar while doing it :-)

I am happy to extend the functionality of /usr/local/libexec/app-placeholder if needed. PRs welcome.

Missing executable bit

The AndroidStudio.app/AndroidStudio file is missing the executable bit. Hence the app bundle can't be launched by double-clicking it.
Setting it chmod +x fixes this. Should be done for the version in the repo, so that users don't have to do the extra step. This will also make the icon show up in Filer.
