Add pre-built app APK on GitHub (or F-Droid) #143

Closed ZenithMonk closed 3 weeks ago

ZenithMonk commented 7 months ago

Adding a pre-built APK directly to the releases section of GitHub (or a F-Droid release) could greatly facilitate the download procedure and potentially make the app more "visible".

Juggluco is already at uptodown: https://juggluco.en.uptodown.com/android Juggluco can't be put on F-Droid because it makes use of Play Services, https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Inclusion_Policy says: "We cannot build apps using Google’s proprietary “Play Services”. Please talk to upstream about an untainted build flavor (either using microg or removing Non-Free dependencies completely)."

Makes sense then.

But I wonder why it uses Play Services (I have no knowledge about the source code nor how to understand it), as the app works flawlessly on my ungoogled phone (no Play Services and no MicroG).

j-kaltes commented 3 weeks ago

The communication between Juggluco on the phone and the WearOS watch makes use of Google Play Services.

I see, thanks for the clarification.

Is it conceivable to release a version without those services (for a later F-Droid release) or a normal release directly on GitHub (to be able to download the latest updates with Obtainium or so) ?

Go to https://www.juggluco.nl/Juggluco/download.html

Guess that works, thanks.
