F-Droid Store

[toki4]

Hello,
I started a Request For Packaging for the F-Droid Store (https://gitlab.com/fdroid/rfp/-/issues/2924) and got a hint (https://gitlab.com/fdroid/rfp/-/issues/2924#note_2191242388).
Could you imagine preparing your app in this way the app is also available in the F-Droid store in the future?
Thanks for the answer.

Hi,

I'm aware of F-Droid and read its docs before, unfortunately currently I don't have capacity to make a build for it. As you can see from your RFP, it's need to remove Google Play Services and Dropbox client and doing so will make it lack any auto-backup capacity, I'm considering doing WebDAV backup for it but also don't have capacity to do it for now.

Pull requests to make improvements on these issues are welcome. If anyone want to do this please keep in mind that original Play Store build must still work.

I did a quick look, Dropbox should be usable (client library/SDK is open source), there are two libraries still using the binary in this repo:

• rfc2445-no-joda.jar (probably can be replaced with org.scala-saddle:google-rfc-2445:20110304)
• trove-3.0.2-long.jar (probably can be replaced with net.sf.trove4j:core:3.1.0)

Looks like it's possible to use build variants to supply different implementations, such that F-Droid build won't use/show Google Drive login functionality.
