Android apps run on Chromebooks and I have several installed, including 3
of my own. There are a few glitches when rotating to tablet mode on
Chromebooks that support that feature but in general they work pretty well.
For you, that would be the easiest way forward. The main problem is that
apps outside the Play Store can't be installed on Chromebooks without
booting into developer mode and that isn't an option for students. On the
other hand, getting your app into the Google Play Store is far easier than
Apple makes it.

Folks:
Just thinking out loud.
My hobby and gift to pay back all of the money I got from the National
Science Foundation over my career, is to program and make educational
applications about Earth Science. I’m finding, tho, that for younger kids,
Chromebooks are mostly used. So, tapping into the vast experience of
livecode users on this list, what advice would you give me? Livecode on the
web? Google Classroom dev in Python? Is the web deployment of the livecode
server getting to a place where it is actually practical in comparison to
other solutions?
My son is a 5’th grade teacher. He uses Google Classroom a lot. I would
want apps I develop to work in that environment too. Or … function in a web
browser. I see that LiveCode 10 versions are supporting webASM. It also
looks like a direction I could go.
The reason I’m favoring apps that work in a browser is then I don’t have to
worry about the app stores and my work would/should run on different machines.
So, I would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions you might have. I’ve
programmed in numerous languages (but forgotten lots) and am not averse to
learning new ones (Javascript?).
Best,
Bill
