Hi,

This pull request contains metadata files needed to add passport-reader to the F-Droid repository.

tananaev commented 3 years ago

I'm not sure this belongs in the repository. Why not submit this information directly to the F-Droid?

RomainL972 commented 3 years ago

The reviewers of the merge request for adding passport reader to f-droid asked for this information to be added to this repository if possible. It lets us change the information that appears on the f-droid page without creating a merge request on the fdroiddata gitlab every time. If you want, here is the merge request : https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/6583 Also, is it possible to add a new tag if this pull request is merged so that the f-droid bot can automatically scan the metadata using the new tag ?

@tananaev this should be added to your repository for multiple reasons, e.g.:

you can keep summary & description etc. up-to-date without requiring merge requests for each change
screenshots cannot be added to the F-Droid git repo anymore; with more than 3k apps it otherwise would get unmaintainable

Besides, Fastlane is a de-facto standard and can be used with other places (like Google Play) as well.

@tananaev any news on this? We'd really like to add your app, but that requires this PR being merged first and after that a new release being made here (with "Fastlane inside").
