[Kivy] Kivy Launcher - permissions

[Cosmin Poieană]

Hi,

I'm a senior Python developer working on a Kivy app which I want to deploy on Android. Before making a real deploy, I want to test the Camera uix widget with the Kivy Launcher app which is missing the necessary permissions (CAMERA). For solving this, I was thinking on rebuilding the launcher app with extra permissions, then deploying and testing my app through it on my phone.

Do you have any updated recipe for building it from scratch on a repository (using buildozer or p4a) and it is possible on a linux system?

Thank you in advance for your instructions and feedback!

In python-for-android you just need to pass the `--launcher` option to build the launcher instead of your own code.
