No longer available in Play Store?

[rmunn]

Today I tried to install OI File Manager on a new phone, only to find that https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.openintents.filemanager was returning a "Not Found" page. I had to download the .apk from GitHub instead and turn on the "Allow app installation from unknown sources" option in order to get OI File Manager installed.

Is there some security reason why the app was removed from the Play Store? Or is it simply that it hasn't had a release in two years?

Google Play suddenly didn't like that there is a link to the contribute page on openintents.org

Fix is planned for Monday or Tuesday.

We will focus on alternative distribution method in the future. We don't want to miss the Huawei users.

Hi @friedger ,

Do you have an update on when OI File manager will be available again in the Play Store, or if you found an alternative distribution method?

@friedger Thanks for putting it back on the play store. OI File Manager was on the play store for months now it appears to be gone again.
