This post is for an older release of Clickable, check out the docs for current information.

Thanks to a lot of work by Tim Süberkrüb Clickable now has support for compiling Rust apps for Ubuntu Touch! Version 5.4.0 is now available for download with a new docker image that contains all the necessary bits to get you started with Rust apps. You’ll need to run clickable update to get the latest docker image. Tim has even created a Rust app template that you can use to get started, just run clickable create and choose the brand new Rust option. And if you want more info about using Rust and QML for making Ubuntu Touch apps check out Tim’s blog post on the subject. I just want to say a huge thank you to Tim for his work on getting Rust support in Clickable!

In addition to Tim’s work on Rust support I’ve also added a fix for distros using SELinux. The change was discovered by a user running Fedora. Clickable v5.4.0 now passes and extra parameter to docker commands to allow it to work properly on systems using SELinux.

If you run into any issues with Clickable please report them in the GitLab Issues.
