Why WakeOnLan connects to Google Servers / Firebase? #25

Hi Florian,

why your WOL tool connects to Google Servers (see F-Droid's Anti-Features)? I guess this will send some data to Google that the user (e.g. me) don't want to give to Google.

Hi, it probably says that, because I'm using the Wearable library by Google to communicate with the Watch App.

I can however assure you that no data is actively sent to Google by this app. I have not implemented any collection of metrics at all.

As this app is open source you could either self-compile if you really want to certain or use the APKs from the Releases here on Github :)

Hi Florian, sorry, I wanted to answer earlier. Anyway, thx for your answer!
