Mobile is played via browser

#

APK was a test file when mobile client was in testing

Initial testing was on android only in a testing APK file (what DYGS tried to link to). This APK was not further developed. When moving to also include iOS devices, the entirety of the mobile experience was moved to the official link: https://warbrokers.io/mobile.php.

The developers explained that the efforts for mobile are of extremely low priority to them since this is by design a game for PC. Support has been given for mobile (and controller/Steam deck for that matter) but is by no means anything that wish to pursue.
For a mobile app to be made, they would have to specifically program for android and iOS separately and update each one separately whenever an update is needed. Considering this is effort that does not earn them money for the effort and is not something many players would even touch, the decision was logically to not put development and logistical efforts into a dedicated app.

#

On the iOS side, Dipper stated it should be played with iPhone 12 or newer. Older models may work but run into memory issues.

#

Android never had models names, and is difficult to do so with the wide range of providers and their respective power. Assume relatively recent models.

#

Some users claim that loading into the game in a mobile device's browser will run the game without needing the specific mobile link. I have not personally tried.
