I understand that you may not want to give details that can identify your app. If you are looking for a dedicated app, that is, someone gets an Ubuntu mobile device specifically in order to run your app, then this should be doable. If, however, you want your app to be installable from the store so that anyone can pick it up, then you have to check those restrictions in the platform that are forced in order to allow the phone to work properly (for example, an app should not have root access, not deplete the battery, etc). You may have to refactor your code so that it uses what is provided by the Ubuntu phone platform. Or, you can plan to focus on Snappy (when it gets available on the phone) that allows to put all your code in a Linux container and have it separated from the other apps. Not sure about the details; it's what Robert said earlier. > If I can SSH to the Ubuntu Phone, I'm mostly there (provided the Ubuntu > Phone Linux platform is compatible, e.g. has openjdk and other libraries). > > We've proven the concept in Raspbian. > You can SSH to the phone and you can probably install (as root) most of these packages. The phone will be in an unsupported state however. My recommendation from the information that you provided, is that you may need to make an IoT implementation. That is, have a developer board with Ubuntu Snappy, http://www.ubuntu.com/things and install there openjdk and other libraries. The BeagleBoard Black and ODROID-C1 should work well. Then, the phone will control the developer board so you just put the UI part on the phone.
