Windows and Android Download process

[mouxdesign]

Issues, reports or feature requests related to the GUI should be opened directly on the GUI repo

• I still think this issue should be opened here

Report

Download and installation of latest merged Action
Devices: Windows and Android

Intention: Download the latest version of the GUI to run some tests on the create wallet flow:

Observations:

OS-Windows:

Process

1. Downloaded the latest merge file onto windows device
2. Click run

Result

Presented with the main activity screen, no option to create wallet

Troubleshooting

I went to installed applications and uninstalled and reinstalled

Result

The same screen

OS-Android

Process

1. Downloaded unsecure_android_arm32
2. Proceeded to install
3. Clicked "got it"
4. Failed to install and did not understand why so installed all 3 versions

Trouble shoot

5. Clicked "Install anyway" which resulted in a successful install
   

Suggestion:

Android:

• Button of "install anyway should be the "Got it" button. The install anyway shown as being the main click action, if not users will click "got it" and not complete the installation process

Windows:

• Help in understanding why create wallet flow is not visible after installing.

the android issue is related to the google play store. It is not related to the bitcoin core app

the windows issue is because you already have a data directory, because you have run it before right? currently the create wallet only shows up when you run it for the first time. You can also have it show up if you run it with this start up parameter: -resetguisettings. You need to do this in the console.
Or rename your data directory, but this is a hacky workaround.
