Release on F-Droid #11

Open kliu128 opened 5 years ago

kliu128 commented 5 years ago

F-Droid is an alternative Android appstore that packages and builds free software.

Having uPort be on there, now that it's open source, would be wonderful.

Thanks, that's a good idea. @mirceanis lets try to get it released there.

If you guys could provide an APK along with your github releases or on your website in the meantime that'd be awesome :fire:

mirceanis commented 5 years ago

@jopasserat unfortunately the uPort app is incompatible with f-droid for the moment because the app has some google dependencies. I don't think there exist alternative react-native libraries that can allow us to build a google free flavor, so don't hold your breath. Until we tidy up release notes to include APKs you can grab them directly from our CI server.

jopasserat commented 5 years ago

thanks for the CI link @mirceanis !!

shame for the google libs dependency :( is that why you've started the native Android implementation (https://github.com/uport-project/uport-android)?

mirceanis commented 5 years ago

Yes, that's part of the reason :) Native has the potential of being more nimble and stable. But many devtools were missing on the native front and so the focus has been on sdk development lately.

jopasserat commented 5 years ago

I see :) Thanks for the explanation, don't hesitate to ping me if you want early testers of a google-free build ;)
