Packaging Android app using Dart content shell

The only way I aware about it now to package Dart app as Android app, is to get it converted to javascript, and use it in a webview.

My question or thinking today is: Is there a chance or a way to package the DART application with the 2 files mentioned below in a way similar to Chrome web store packaged app, or as Mozilla Marketplace packaged app to get it run in Android.

the 2 files I'm talking about are:

Content_Shell_Developer_Build.apk

and

Dart_Editor_Mobile_Connection_Service_1.0.apk

thanks

  • You can't avoid the dart2js conversion. The only ways to run applications built with Dart on Android is transpiling them to JavaScript or run them as a console application without a GUI or with a native extension for Android that makes use of the Android C/C++ API.
