Claude Code on Android — v1.1.0
What Changed Since v1.0.0
Path B (proot-distro Ubuntu) is now the recommended installation path. It's cleaner — no /tmp workaround, no ripgrep symlink, no TMPDIR hack, no npm. Uses Anthropic's official native installer. Path A remains available as a lightweight alternative.
Three Devices Verified

| Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra | 16 | Works | Works |
| Google Pixel 10 Pro | 16 | Works | Works |
| Samsung Galaxy S23+ | 15 | Untested | Works |
