Twitter and email are still in interface but no longer work #190

Closed biotinker closed 8 years ago

biotinker commented 8 years ago

In order to conform with Fdroid criteria, the jar dependencies for twitter and email were removed. However, they still appear in the interface, just nonfunctional. Need to add this functionality back or remove it entirely.

Twitter support will be removed entirely, as it is a non-free service. "Gmail" support will be changed to a more generic email support.

Twitter has been removed. SMTP support will be removed, and instead, app should use existing email accounts on device.

Upon further research (and unfortunately a lot of code work) it looks like there's actually no way to send emails from the app without having people save their credentials locally within the app.

As I don't want to be responsible for the security of people's account information (email credentials are very important and valuable, and if something breaks and I expose them, that could be quite harmful to the user) I am discontinuing email support. If someone knows of a way to safely implement support in a way that will work for a generic on-device account without having the intent just open the account and prompt for a send, let me know.

Solutions which only work with non-free email services such as gmail will not be considered.
