F-Droid as an alternative app store #5

Closed sergd88 closed 9 months ago

sergd88 commented 1 year ago

It would be great have the opportunity to get the app not only through Google Play, but also from F-Droid.

Also, as mentioned in #28, it would be great to be able to get the apk file directly from GitHub, rather than having to compile the package yourself. This, in turn, greatly simplified the life of ordinary users and expanded the audience as a whole.

Sadly.

I'll definitely keep this in mind! But for now it seems impossible...

Would be very nice if you could ping this thread as soon as it's happening. Truly is a great app.

Sure! I'm planing to create a source generator (#100) that should solve the build issue on Linux. Once that is fixed, I should be able to deploy to fdroid. In the meantime, you can always download the universal apks from the github releases.

I'll just create a custom repo. That way, we don't have the build issue! https://gitlab.com/fdroid/wiki/-/wikis/Inclusion-of-Xamarin-(.NET)-apps https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Setup_an_F-Droid_App_Repo/
