This issue asks to apply GitHub Actions Android hardware acceleration guidance to the release workflow and ensure Linux release artifacts build correctly across architectures.
-
What changed
- Updated
.github/workflows/release.ymlin theandroidjob to configure KVM device permissions via udev onubuntu-latestrunners. - Kept the existing
fyne-cross android ...build and artifact flow unchanged. - Updated release workflow runner labels to supported GitHub-hosted values (replacing invalid
ubuntu-slimusage). - Updated the Linux build matrix to produce both whisper and non-whisper artifacts for:
linux/amd64linux/arm64
- Routed
linux/arm64matrix entries to an ARM64 runner (ubuntu-24.04-arm) so CGO/whisper builds are compiled for the correct architecture.
- Updated
-
Why this is in scope
- Aligns the Android release workflow with GitHub’s documented Linux runner setup for Android hardware acceleration.
- Addresses release workflow correctness issues introduced during matrix expansion.
- Ensures requested artifact coverage (whisper + non-whisper for amd64 and arm64) is produced reliably.

This issue asks to apply GitHub Actions Android hardware acceleration guidance to the release workflow and ensure Linux release artifacts build correctly across architectures.
- **What changed**
- Updated `.github/workflows/release.yml` in the `android` job to configure KVM device permissions via udev on `ubuntu-latest` runners.
- Kept the existing `fyne-cross android ...` build and artifact flow unchanged.
- Updated release workflow runner labels to supported GitHub-hosted values (replacing invalid `ubuntu-slim` usage).
- Updated the Linux build matrix to produce **both whisper and non-whisper** artifacts for:
- `linux/amd64`
- `linux/arm64`
- Routed `linux/arm64` matrix entries to an ARM64 runner (`ubuntu-24.04-arm`) so CGO/whisper builds are compiled for the correct architecture.
- **Why this is in scope**
- Aligns the Android release workflow with GitHub’s documented Linux runner setup for Android hardware acceleration.
- Addresses release workflow correctness issues introduced during matrix expansion.
- Ensures requested artifact coverage (whisper + non-whisper for amd64 and arm64) is produced reliably.
