Hmm, I hear about this service for first time. Is it somehow better than google play?
F-droid is a repository of open-source games and apps for Android. It is a nice alternative for users who cannot (or do not wish to, for various reasons) have Google Play Services installed on their device :)
Is it hard to publish game there?
I've never tried it. I know that apps are audited before release and that generally being accepted at FDroid is a kind of positive commendation
I've got my game published on F-droid and it was not hard process. As long as all code and build tools you use are open source you are good to go.
This HOWTO should help you. I think you could add yiotro/Achipato too
@yiotro I was surprised to not find Antiyoy on F-Droid as it is a well known App Store for open source projects. For users it also has the advantage that some apps are available for free there, while they are paid apps in the Play Store (e.g. Conversations).
I have opened a "Request for Packaging" at f-droid's issue tracker: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/rfp/issues/620
It seems, that there are some JAR files without source:
fdroid scanner --verbose yio.tro.antiyoy.android
DEBUG: Reading 'config.py'
INFO: yio.tro.antiyoy.android: no builds specified, running on current source state
WARNING: Found JAR file at assets/fog_of_war/AtlasTextureCreator.jar
WARNING: Found JAR file at assets/field_elements/AtlasTextureCreator.jar
WARNING: Found JAR file at assets/skins/ant/field_elements/AtlasTextureCreator.jar
You can just remove those jar files, they are not used in game itself (they are used to create some image files)
Hello, In order to package this app, I think we would need that you add the Android project generated by the libgdx setup app to this Git repository.
Well, sadly I don't plan to do this. Source code and assets are enough to recreate project on local machine.
@yiotro unfortunately that means that F-Droid cannot build the app, and I have therefore closed the request on our end. If you'd reconsider (and e.g. add the project files via a git submodule if you don't want them inside this repository), we gladly reopen and give it a try.
It would be cool to be able to get the game from fdroid :)
