Release it on F-Droid
- Public APK of app
- F-Droid Deployment
This issue might have popped up in the previous repo, but there are still people out there with custom ROMs and don't have Google services installed. Some can't access Google due to region-locking or just don't want to use the Playstore.
The thing that prevented it last time for it to be on the Open source store was that fdroid/rfp#97 the Cordova build required a Play-services fragment to be available during build. Maybe with the RN version it could be different.

We will get this out with updated app sooner than later. Tx

Maybe the builds can be automated with a CI. Or is it blocked, due to internal credentials for build?
The apps need to be signed so I dont think that would be possible.

Why though?
You can place your keys into a .gitignore entry to hide it
Gitignore stops files from being commited so is unrelated.
The CI server would need the signing credentials. Right now the security risk here outweighs the benefits it woulf bring.

How do other open source projects commit to F-Droid? Isn't your CI private?
Can't the signing be the only thing hidden and release the source code for the CI as proof?
Hello, I'm a F-Droid contributor. We build every app from source on our build server and sign it with our own key. Does that answer your question?
@Rudloff they are trying to make their CIs public. But if the CI is completely public, one could see their private key when signing
@markharding I think this could help https://youtu.be/2uaTPmNvH0I
Any updates on this?
Could at least be a public apk available for download, officially from minds?
fdroid/rfp#97 (comment 80322175)
The app does not have any tagged release: https://github.com/Minds/mobile-native/releases This would make packaging easier.

I would be OK with this too. This is what Gab does for their Andriod app. If you do offer a APK download please add a feature in the app that will notify the user when a new version of the app is available.
But an F-Driod release will be nice since it will also update the app when updates roll out.
Would it be possible to have a maintainer be responsible for managing Minds APK on f-droid? I don't have experience with f-droid but it seems like it could be an interesting project to work on.

@markeharding, Thank you for informing me about this ticket within ticket #1338.
However you (or any other staff member) have yet to provide the information that I requested within the previous ticket regarding the Google PlayStore agreement.
Could the requested information be either posted to this ticket or #1338? (also, please remember to tag me to your reply so that I can be notified in a timely and efficient fashion. Thanks.)
