Versioning

[IzzySoft]

Could you please take care for proper versioning of the app? Currently, all versions identify as

package: name='com.arturkowalczyk300.cryptocurrencyprices' versionCode='1' versionName='1.0'

This not only makes them hard to tell apart, but also complicates automatic updates.

Thanks in advance for considering!

PS: I also wonder what license your app falls under. Apache-2.0, as mentioned here?

[IzzySoft]

Any word, @arturkowalczyk300 ?

Sorry, I didn't see this issue previously. Thanks for pointing out lack of proper versioning - I fixed it in newest commit and I will keep using it in future releases.

And thing about license - I didn't think about it before, but I see that Apache-2.0 is quite libertarian license - so I can say, it is actual license of this project. Treat this software as open, feel free to re-use it.

Great, thanks! Then let me propose a nice deal: I add your app to my repo now¹ – and you add the license to your repo? :smiley:

¹ Oops, need to wait for the next release, when versioning is fixed :see_no_evil: So once that's done you'll probably close this issue, which should send me a ping, and I'll then add it to my repo :smiley:

[arturkowalczyk300]

Sounds perfect!

I've added license type information to the repository, also I increased version number again and this time forced to publish first app release with specified license. It's here: https://github.com/arturkowalczyk300/android-cryptocurrency-prices/releases/tag/v0.8.4

Deal! Then let's do it. With the next sync around 7 pm UTC, your app should show up here. As F-Droid repos aim for maximum transparency, it currently carries two so-called anti-features, at least one of which is easy to get rid of:

• ApplicationDebuggable: your APKs are currently compiled for debug. Not a big deal, but you can easily turn that off if you wish (my updater then will automatically inform me to remove that anti-feature)
• NonFreeNet: for the source of the prices. This is a quite common anti-feature (you can use the filters on the main page to find other apps) and rather a hint than a warning – so nothing to really be bothered about. Should the service you use be fully FOSS, that can be removed of course.

To get an idea how the listing will look like, here's a screenshot from the staging area:

Now if you wish:

• you can pick a badge to link to the listing e.g. from your Readme :smiley:
• I can send you the metadata I've set up via PR in Fastlane format so you can control how your app is presented (description & graphics) or even extend it with more details (like per-release changelogs); be welcome to my Fastlane Cheat Sheet for guidance then.

Thanks a lot for the fast adjustments! If you consider everything solved, feel free to close this issue. Sending Fastlane would mean a new one (aka PR) anyway – and the related details could be discussed there.

why no updates in izzyondroid f-droid repo? @IzzySoft

[IzzySoft]

@Wjxfi because all releases are marked pre-releases, so my updater usually skips them. Thanks for the ping; as there's no single "stable release" yet I've told my updater to not ignore them. Manually triggered an update to confirm: works, it immediately fetched v0.9.2, which will become available with the next sync around 6 pm UTC.
