I don;t remember if, when I made the keyboard I made a JS file. I might have skipped it since I don’t know what it is.

In Keyman Developer, you specify what target you want to use the keyboard.
Desktop compiles to a .kmx file
Mobile compiles to a Javascript (.js) file.

Keyman for Android (and Keyman for iPhone and iPad) use the .js file. So that’s what you need to include in the keyboard package.

That’s a direct message. You can click on Makara’s name and select “Message” to send him files.
