Any way to use MC Education Edition APK file? about linux-packaging-scripts HOT 14 CLOSED

Firstly, I don't think this launcher supports education edition.(If you want to education edition, then just install a version of Minecraft bedrock and in the world creation options, activate cheats and toggle education edition).
Secondly, make sure that the architecture of your apk matches with that of your cpu, for example, if your cpu is x86 then the architecture of the apk also should be x86, if you don't own the game and you are on any other architecture than armhf, you might be out of luck, as most of the apk files on the internet are only arm compatible.
Thirdly, if it's a relatively new version of Minecraft, then, it takes time for the launcher to support them...

pretty sure education edition is arm only

Oh sorry, forgot to mention I'm running a Raspberry Pi.

I don't have any apk of minecraft edu, but you have..

I'm not shure if the main lib is called libminecraftedu.so, but worth trying.

• Try renaming
  lib/armeabi-v7a/libminecraftedu.so to lib/armeabi-v7a/libminecraftpe.so and / or lib/arm64-v8a/libminecraftedu.so to lib/arm64-v8a/libminecraftpe.so inside the apk file (it's just a zip file)

• Then import again.

• It may crash now instead, I doubt that it will work

About failed to stat selected file: make shure the apk is copied to your device's sd card not via mtp or other storage provider.

Seems like there isn't a lib folder in the apk file:

MC Edu edition is free so you can find a few apks scattered around the web.

from linux-packaging-scripts.

There is no lib in assets.
lib is a folder next to assets.

so assets/../lib

Also if you have multiple apks just choose the one witg the lib folder in the root

Well uh

You need more apks than the base apk like the arm configuration apk.

Otherwise it is a incomplete set of apks

So something like this?

The problem is my RPI is running a 32-bit OS...

from linux-packaging-scripts.

Then you additionally need config.armeabi-v7a.apk if it exists.
Or reinstall arm64 os if you have a rpi3 or newer

Hm... I'll go search around and see if I can find a arm32 one.

Say I got a arm32 bit apk, what do I do with it? Do I just copy the lib folder inside it to the base apk?

from linux-packaging-scripts.

1. open config.armeabi-v7a.apk
2. rename the libminecraft*.so in lib/armeabi-v7a/ to libminecraftpe.so if it has a different name
3. save config.armeabi-v7a.apk (use the old zip format or the launcher won't accept it)
4. select all apks com.mojang.minecraftedu.apk, config.*.apk in the import dialog or it won't accept it at all

I don't believe minecraftedu has an armv7 version

• arm chromebooks are usually arm64
• minecraftedu for chromebooks was released after 64 bit android versions of minecraft are common
• Minecraftpe on android may discontinue the 32bit version soon Our ability to support Android devices on KitKat OS or below is coming to an end, kitkat the last 32bit only android
• playstore will stops delivering 32bit native apps to android 9 64bit or higher
