Last release lacks APK file

[IzzySoft]

Hopefully just forgotten: Version 2.1.0 has no .apk file attached. Would you be so kind to fill that gap? Of course, if you're just releasing 2.1.1 tomorrow (it's been some time, and maybe the commits – which a.o. contain some fixes – justify a minor release), the gap has been jumped :smile_cat:

Ooookkkkkk... Cool

You can go ahead and close this issue.

@ZeevoX nope, sorry. Thanks for your help, but how shall I know that's really the app made here? I'm not the one to click any link (no offense meant).

[niranjan94]

@IzzySoft have attached the apk to the latest release.

https://github.com/niranjan94/show-java/releases/tag/v2.1.0

You can run keytool -list -printcert -jarfile ShowJava2.0.9.apk This will print the certificates for the ShowJava 2.0.9 APK available on Github releases. Then you can compare the certificate with the one retrieved when you run keytool -list -printcert -jarfile ShowJava2.1.0.apk

Of course, if you're just releasing 2.1.1 tomorrow

No plans for a release in the next few weeks. But a version 3 is a WIP. :) Finally got some time to start on it. You would be seeing new commits here in the next few days

@niranjan94 Thanks!

@ZeevoX as said, no offense – but you cannot expect that from an "average user". Thanks for jumping in to help, though!

[IzzySoft]

@niranjan94 it's missing again. Could you please attach it to the last version at least (and then to all future versions)? Thanks in advance!

[niranjan94]

HI @IzzySoft ... Sorry about that 😄Forgot to do it.

Have added the apks to all the releases that were missing it. Will make sure to do it for all future releases too.

[IzzySoft]

Thanks a lot! Looks like my auto-updater found them faster than I was able to check :rofl: Already online in my repo.

But now I'm a bit shocked: even more trackers have been added, I now count 6. Would it be insolent to ask for a build that comes without the mass (or at least with less)? Normally I'd remove an app from my repo if it has more than 3 trackers. It's probably not necessary to have 2 analytics modules included (currently: Firebase and Crashlytics). And 3 ad modules is a bit overdoing it, would you agree? My users prefer it not to be tracked – or at least not that excessively – and thus would very much appreciate it. So thanks in advance in their name and mine :wink:

[IzzySoft]

@niranjan94 ^^ With so many trackers in the app, I will have to remove it from my repo – sorry, but that contradicts my privacy-first approach. If you can provide an APK that comes without (at least 4 of) them, please let me know and I'll add it back. For example, why multiple analytics frameworks? And what for do you need Firebase at all?

[niranjan94]

Hi @IzzySoft.. There is one ads module.. Google admob.. And one crash reporting module. Crashlytics. But Google has merged them both into the firebase suite. So I will have to include firebase core to use those two.

implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.6"
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:17.1.2"
implementation "com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.9.8"

Google has been shoving firebase down everybody's throats. I don't like it either. But for now I don't see a viable alternative. Crashlytics provides really good reporting.

Could you give me more info on the other modules that concern you? Perhaps I can give my reasoning or see if I could remove them.

[IzzySoft]

Mostly privacy issues, @niranjan94. I'v collected some facts on some of the modules; see e.g. here for Crashlytics, AdMob, DoubleClick (Firebase belongs into the same category; go to the start of the page for an index). That list is of course very incomplete.

Perhaps I can give my reasoning or see if I could remove them.

Let me know if that is so and you have a new release coming with less of them. I gladly re-establish your app in my repo then. Thanks for considering!
