Publish new App version to f-droid and Playstore #67

Cool people committed cool patches and those should go live :) The last published version is 1,5 years old. (if help is needed, get in touch with me)

dbrgn commented 4 years ago

@rorist I'd be willing to update the app so it builds against the latest SDKs, and also to add SpaceAPI version 0.14 support.

Would you be willing to accept those, and to publish a new version of the app?

rorist commented 4 years ago

Hello,

yes for sure ! I don't know if it will be simple to port the app the the new sdk's, I'm totally rusty with Android, but feel free to give it a try and send a PR.

Adding support for a new version should be as simple as adding a class [1] and modifying the loader [2].

Would increasing the min SDK level from 14 (Android 4.0) to 19 (Android 4.4) be OK for you? That would make many things easier. Those Android versions have not received any security updates in a loooong time and should not be used anyways. 21 (Android 5 Lollipop) would be even better, but that depends on what versions current users are on.

(In case you want to see current usage, there is a device version screen in the Google Play backend.)

rorist commented 4 years ago

Sure, the lowest installed version is 4.4 for 4 devices, then 10 ppl using 5.x.

dbrgn commented 4 years ago

Ok, I think then using 5.0 as minSdkTarget should be safe. The people using the current app on 4.4 can continue to do so.

dbrgn commented 4 years ago

Target SDK version is updated and CI is fixed! I plan to do some more cleanup (and maybe some UI improvements), afterwards a new release could be created :slightly_smiling_face:

romedius commented 2 years ago

Hi! It's me again :) Seems like the app is still not published yet. And our hackerspace has changed to the url which is available on soaceapi.io, bot not on the old spaceapi.net url anymore. @dbrgn / @rorist could you do an update or may I assist?

dbrgn commented 2 years ago

Check out the fork 🙂

For some reason, the app doesn't seem listed on Google Play anymore 😕 I'll have to investigate (and should submit to Fdroid as well).

rorist commented 2 years ago

I will remove my old version from the store when yours is back, it only adds confusion.

WTF google... apparently email for that account wasn't being forwarded, and I never saw the notifications 😕

I'll try to reupload the app somehow, but might take a few days.

that would be nice. although it would be even better if we could push a last update that indicates how to switch to the new app 🙂 if I find time I can prepare something.

dbrgn commented 2 years ago

FYI, I resubmitted the forked version to F-Droid: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/11468

niccokunzmann commented 2 years ago

@dbrgn I have a google developer account you could use.

dbrgn commented 2 years ago

@niccokunzmann thanks for the offer! I'd rather keep things cleanly separated and set up a new account for SpaceAPI 🙂 (we had one before, I just messed up the forwarding of e-mails, that's why it was terminated.)
