APK: Can you please release an APK or share a prebuilt one?

For those of us who can't install or set up a full android toolchain

Thanks!

I mean this app only for Android app developers, to use while testing their apps (to be integrated into their app code in debug mode, for testing)… If you need a ready product that acts as a WebDAV server, or maybe FTP or other server, there are several such apps in Google Play. Check for example WebDAV serverPro there, or just “WebDAV server” – plenty of results.

I understand why you don't want to provide an APK, but offering my use-case as a datapoint that may or may not sway your opinion.

If you need a ready product that acts as a WebDAV server, or maybe FTP or other server, there are several such apps in Google Play.

My use case doesn't allow for that because I don't trust those apps on google play. This repo has an easily auditable app.

Luckily I was able to compile the api myself, but if I weren't I'd desire an APK as well.

My use case:

Run this mini WebDAV server to make organice work with private local files on my android.

If I published an APK here - how would you know it corresponds to the published source? Decompile it and compare? It's probably more difficult than building it yourself...

i don't use untrusted APKs on a trusted device. I use it on testing / or potentially compromised environments.

Also, I don't use google store.

I use F-Droid app-store.

Maybe you'd consider submitting your project to them, so they'd compile and publish it on their platform? (I don't know how complicated it is, or what are you motives, just raising a possiblity)

There aren't any webdav servers on F-Droid, currently i'm using sftp server.
