https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard/wiki/Tutorial:-How-to-Contribute-Gesture-Data@theeclecticdyslexic @IzzyOnDroid is there good reason not to adopt AnySoftKeyboard's gesture code?

@theeclecticdyslexic I'm so glad somebody's working on open gesture typing. The instructions in https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard/wiki/Tutorial:-How-to-Contribute-Gesture-Data didn't work for me, though.
I installed Heliboard from F-Droid. It didn't show gesture-related settings, so I did "Load gesture typing library"; it says I need arm64-v8a, so I followed the ARM64 link in the tutorial and downloaded the 1.1MB .so file; but Heliboard reported "Unknown library file. Are you sure you got it from a trusted source ...?" and after confirming, the app closed. On re-opening it, the gesture menu items still aren't present. (Due to my F-Droid installation's repository data being stale I got version 3.6 at first, but I upgraded to 3.7 and tried the same steps with the same result.)
Is there any debugging information I can provide? I haven't used adb in years but can probably figure that out again.
@jamey @theeclecticdyslexic same problem here. Pixel7a with Googles stock Android, Heliboard from fdroid. ARM64v8a recognized, downloafed the "ARM64" ...so file and at loading the App closes.
Edit: OS and App are both set to german, if this helps?

Perhaps we can discuss this in the next video on open source news
@theeclecticdyslexic -
@lautreg @theeclecticdyslexic @NGIZero Yes. It's "Autospace after picking a suggestion". Look for "autospace" in the settings search box.

@theeclecticdyslexic I don't see that option in HeliBoard 3.6.
@theeclecticdyslexic Ok, got it now, after the update that dropped today.

https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard/wiki/Tutorial:-How-to-Contribute-Gesture-Data@theeclecticdyslexic does this work on /e/OS as well? Can't seem to be able to install gesture library

@markusseifert @jamey that's very surprising that it didn't work for you both. On many pixel devices they actually have the library out of the box, and don't even need to load it.
I will double check I didn't make a mistake of some kind! Maybe I mixed up two links.
Edit: just tried it. It's a problem with that version of the library MindTheGapps seems to have applied optimisations for. I'll replace the links with older versions. Shouldn't have assumed all versions worked!

@TrVr that's surprising... I haven't used /e/ yet. It's possible I made a mistake with the links I provided. I will double check some things.

@theeclecticdyslexic @markusseifert @jamey I had the same problem on a Pixel 8 (GrapheneOS) and got it to work by using the library from the
taubranch of MindTheGapps. That's 5 years old though so there may be a more up to date one that works -

This one should work for arm64. It's much older, and loaded fine on my device.

@theeclecticdyslexic let me know when you change the link so I can test

@TrVr it should be changed now! sorry about that. I obviously tested one commit and linked another...
