Publish via F-Droid #92

F-Droid is the source for Free Software apps and it'd be helpful to have the app on that platform to make sure it is and stays Free Software.

Thanks for looking into the possibility of including IRMA into F-Droid. We have looked at it in the past, but at that time it was pretty difficult to include a React Native project into their build pipeline.

I don't quite understand how including IRMA in F-Droid would "make sure it is and stays Free Software". This project is published under an open source license regardless of on which app distribution platform it is published.

We are currently rewriting this mobile application from the ground up (using the Flutter framework instead of RN), so its likely that any work put into getting this repository published on F-droid would needs to be repeated for the new version.

We're definitely looking at publishing using fastlane, so that covers #93. I previously had the impression fastlane was a closed-source SaaS solution, but I'm glad to learn that its not.

you (as in your organisation, rather than you, personally) may accidentally include or require non-free libraries. F-Droid won't offer the app if it does.

Hi, F-Droid contributor here.

We now can include React-native projects to F-Droid, but we'll wait your rewriting in dart (flutter) to try to deploy this app trough F-Droid, no need to do the hard work twice.

Maybe, in the meantime, the app could be published on the website?
