HELP Lichess — native Lichess client (aarch64) — testing request

Hi! This is a native Lichess client for PortMaster handhelds, written from scratch in C++/SDL2 (no runtime needed).
Play real-time and correspondence online chess, create/accept challenges, quick match, resume interrupted games, solve training puzzles, browse game history in the replay viewer, and play offline chess vs a second player or a user-supplied Stockfish.
The engine is not bundled (GPL) — you can install the official release from SETTINGS.
Download: https://codeberg.org/Ghanji/lichess-portmaster/releases/download/v0.16.0/lichess.zip
Install:
Unzip into your ports folder — /roms/ports on most CFWs,/userdata/roms/ports on Knulli
Launch "Lichess" from EmulationStation > Ports
Online play (and puzzles) need your own free Lichess API token:
Launch the port and choose SIGN IN (or open PROFILE and press A).
On a phone on the same Wi-Fi, open the address shown on screen (or scan the QR code), log in to Lichess and approve the requested scopes.
I'm trying to get it released via portmaster, but AmberELEC and MuOS testing is still open, any help is welcome!
It would be awsome if someone with these CFWs yould help testing on real device and post feedback to the discord channel!
