f-droid is an open source alternative to the playstore. many users which don't want to install google play services or love open source software use it.

Thanks for creating this issue @c33s . We'll have a team discussion on it.

@maestromac I did some research in how the F-Droid app submission works, I think none of the steps need to be done by an official team member.

If you are okay with it I can try to make a MR (Gitlab PR) ready and post the link here so you can review it before I make the actual MR to the F-Droid repo.

I don't use F-Droid myself but a client is interested in adding their own F-Droid store to their custom Android devices and this might be interesting for me to go through the app review process.

@maestromac We can talk on DEV connect if you want to discuss this.

Glennmen commented 4 years ago

Mac was going to throw this in an internal team discussion but haven't received any feedback so far. I am stil interested in working on this.

There's not even an RFP issue available, right?

Any update regarding F-Droid release?

rugk commented 2 years ago

I agree it would be great to see this Android app on F-Droid!

F-Droid is an Android app store specifically for free/libre open-source apps. It would be great if your app could be released there, as it is the number one for getting FLOSS Android apps for many people. F-Droid also builds all apps from source (optionally even reproducible), so downloads from there can be trusted.

The app developer FAQ or the quick start guide may help you to get started.

BTW a release on F-Droid could also bring some (more) popularity (in case that is intended), as it will show up in the app (new apps are featured there).
