Hi,
It would be great if you could make the app available for Android TV devices. I am currently using it on Android TV and it works well except some icon selection issues due to the use of the remote control instead of the touch screen.
If this is not possible, could you please make the apk available for download on your website to avoid the risk of corrupted apk from third party sites?

Thanks

For the TV devices you should wait a bit...

Hi, I have great results using the VPN on my phone for an OpenVPN Tap connection, but need the same for Android TV.
Can you tell us where this is on the roadmap?
Thanks

To be available for the TV, the app must be approved by Google.
Some weeks ago I tried again to submit the app for the Google approval, but has been rejected.
So I cannot give you a date.

Google has to approve the app for android tv so it could be available on sites as an apk download

This is a much needed feature. I think you need to compile the app with Android studio, after ticking the Android TV compatibility checkbox when creating the project.

Unfortunately it's not so simple.
To be approved by Google, the user interface must be rewritten.
The problem is that the Google user interface pattern for the TV devices, is not thinked for apps with complex user interactions.
So, for this app is not simple to write a user interface that follow the Google directions.

Thanks. However, until solving the problem, why don't you make the apk available on your site for download? I am already using the app on Android TV after downloading the apk from a third party site. It is however less secure. It will be safer to get the apk directly from your site.

So many thanks. However the Android 8.1 apk gives error: "there was a problem parsing the package" could you please check that the apk is not corrupted? It will also be highly appreciated to regularly share the apks each time there is an update. Again so many thanks for your time and efforts.
