  Frame Control 0.3.1: install APKs without the Android SDK Stable

  DieMitchell released this 2026-10-04 07:35:22 +02:00 | 298 commits to main since this release

  Installing APKs no longer needs the Android SDK. 0.3.0 used aapt2 to read APK files and asked you to install Android Studio's command-line tools to get it. 0.3.1 reads APKs itself, so that step is gone. Install this version and try the APK again.

  	Download
  Windows 10/11 (x64)	Frame-Control-Setup-x64.exe, or the portable Frame-Control-win-x64.zip
  macOS (Apple Silicon)	Frame-Control-mac-arm64.dmg
  Linux x64	Frame-Control-linux-x86_64.AppImage, or Frame-Control-linux-amd64.deb
  Linux arm64	Frame-Control-linux-arm64.AppImage, or Frame-Control-linux-arm64.deb

  Unsigned builds:

  • macOS: run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Frame Control.app" once.
  • Windows: SmartScreen may warn. Choose More info → Run anyway.

  New in 0.3.1

  • APKs are read by a built-in parser. No aapt2 or Android SDK needed.
  • Python and adb are bundled on macOS and Windows, so the app needs nothing else installed.
  • Sideload Linux and Windows game builds as Steam Devkit Games.
  • frame-control://install links, so websites can offer one-click installs.
  • Pairing tries the SteamOS devkit service before asking for a password.
  • HTTPS works from the bundled Python on fresh Windows installs.
