Release Android app on F-Droid #1015

Open rugk opened 3 years ago

rugk commented 3 years ago

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).

Ok, so is there a way to keep the app updated outside of the playstore? How to actually get the app without playstore? What happened to the issue #556? Are apk's available somewhere?

I am using f-droid on calyxOS and don't want to rely on google

Any movement on this issue? Hilarious to me that Mozilla would rely on Google to distribute binaries for a privacy tool. (Though they do ship Google as a default search engine and use Google web tools on their sites, but that's besides the point.)

@pabloscloud Look into Aurora Store if you haven't yet.

Look into Aurora Store if you haven't yet.

I know this exists, but it's just a workaround.
