[feature request] add option to use cloud without play store subscription. #191

Closed dreirund closed 1 year ago

dreirund commented 1 year ago

Ahoj,

I use ↗ the f-droid Open Source build of OsmAnd for Android and I would like to use OsmAnd cloud storage to save settings and information about downloaded/ activated maps, I am even willing to support development of OsmAnd by paying a small fee.

I use a google-free Andoid device, meaning no google services and no google account.

But it is not possible so far to have any subscription outside the proprietary google play store.

So I hereby request the possibility to subscribe to an OsmAnd cloud storage account via an OsmAnd cloud web interface.

Regards!

I have OsmAnd 4.5.8 from f-droid installed, and when I want to sync to the cloud it fails with

"Espired subscription Your OsmAnd Pro subscription is expired, renew it to use backup. You can still restore data from the Cloud."

I have registered an account from within OsmAnd.

Did you purchase OsmAnd Pro from Google Play previously?

NO, because I don't have Google Play Store (as I already wrote in my first post), and I won't, because I won't install google services and give google my phone number (which is required for registering a google account). I have the f-droid version, which is the full-featured version compiled from open source.

@dreirund try to use OsmAnd Cloud with latest 4.5 version.

As for now purchases are very small and we can't process them manually and pay taxes in each country, so probably in future we will find a different payment agreggator

As I wrote, I use OsmAnd~ 4.5.8, which is the latest available in f-droid.

Do I need to un-register and re-register for OsmAnd cloud?

Addendum: Created a complete new account. Still does not worl -> issue #193.
