gvAgent Termux/Android ARM64 Support
Analysis of gvAgent support for running on Termux (Android ARM64)
Output
gvAgent on Termux (Android ARM64)
⚠️ Short Answer: Not Explicitly Supported
The documentation does not mention Termux as a target platform. However, the linux/arm64 binary might work in Termux with caveats.
💻 Official Target Platforms
| Binary | Target | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
linux/amd64 | Ubuntu, RHEL, AWS | Server workloads |
linux/arm64 | Raspberry Pi, ARM servers | Edge compute |
darwin/amd64 | macOS Intel | Dev workstations |
darwin/arm64 | macOS Apple Silicon | M1/M2/M3 Macs |
windows/amd64 | Windows 10/11 | Enterprise dev |
🤔 Termux Feasibility
| ✅ | linux/arm64 binary — Go cross-compiles cleanly |
| ✅ | No CGO required — Pure Go for most features |
| ⚠️ | Paths differ — Termux uses $HOME/.local/share (works) but no /etc |
| ⚠️ | No systemd — ServiceManager won't work (no daemon mode) |
| ⚠️ | No secret service — Falls back to encrypted file |
| ❌ | Not tested — No E2E tests for Termux in CI matrix |
📱 Android Integration (Different Thing)
The docs mention "Android Studio integration" but this is a workstation plugin that runs on macOS/Linux/Windows to control Android devices via ADB. It is not an agent running on the Android device itself.
"Shipping an agent binary that runs on iOS would require App Store approval, sandboxing, and entitlements - a completely different product." — Same logic applies to Play Store for Android.
💡 Bottom Line
The linux/arm64 binary could theoretically run in Termux since it's a Linux userspace, but it's not an official target and would need:
- Manual foreground execution (no daemon)
- Custom paths configuration
- Testing and potential patches for Termux quirks
