#ANDROID APP FOR MAC TV#
This is not too different from Google TV and what the Play Store does by linking to various streaming services where you can find a movie. The “Discover” tentpole involves “organiz the world’s game”:Īggregate games across providers, including game streaming, so you can always find games through Google and 3rd parties. On the “build” front, the company will offer “full-spectrum developer services for game making.” This includes cloud services that make it easier to host large tournaments, and payments solutions like crowdfunding. In turn, it will make those games available across all its platforms and devices.
#ANDROID APP FOR MAC ANDROID#
Knowing the originator of this document serves as important context behind the Android focus, with the vision being to “deliver the best platform to build, discover, and experience games.” Google wants to be the place where developers publish their titles. Besides taking a redacted/unspecified percentage of the lucrative $35-50 billion industry, it wants to “avoid erosion on mobile.” At a high level, it provides a roadmap of what the company wants to accomplish in gaming by 2025. Spotted by The Verge, it’s dated October 2020 and was produced by the “Google Play” division. “Games Future” is an internal “Google Confidential” presentation that was made public as a result of the Apple and Epic Games lawsuit. That practice extends to gaming, with court documents today revealing an Android and Google Play-focused “Games Future” that’s apparently running parallel to Stadia.
We have already unpublished the Portal Android app.Google is infamously known for starting multiple projects to accomplish what is more or less the same task. We will be shutting down Portal on Friday, October 8th. Since Chrome and Chromium variants have overwhelming browser dominance, this means Portal will soon no longer work for the vast majority of people. Since Portal worked by accessing a local server running on your phone to do all file transfers locally over WiFi, this means Portal no longer works for anyone using Chrome. Starting with Chrome 94, Chrome no longer allows HTTP requests to local IP addresses. Our philosophy of enabling apps to easily interact with files no longer fits the direction Android has taken. The same was true for playing video files, etc.Īndroid has since moved away from shared storage and all apps will be required to use Scoped Storage in just a couple months. Let’s say you had a game console emulator installed, you could use Portal to drop a bunch of ROMs onto your phone and the emulator was able to find them. This played very nicely with other apps, making interactions possible just like on a regular computer. We chose to have Portal put files into the shared storage on your phone so other apps could have access to the files after they were transferred. We are closing Portal because Google has made changes to both Android and Chrome that prevent Portal from working in the way we built it to work. Important: The Pushbullet app is not affected by this announcement. Unfortunately, over 6 years later, I’m now writing this post because many things have changed and the time has come to close Portal. We built the slickest app we could and have continued to support the app, site and server for over 6 years now. Portal was a passion project that we built to experiment with other ways of moving data between phones and computers.
