Adding an app with maybe separate appid oops, I’ve made your posts a message by mistake while I wanted to move it to a separate thread

Adding an app with maybe separate appid `app.spamburger.fdroid` is not enough? (or whatever is your apid lol)

Adding an app with maybe separate appid so com.fdroid.whatever? Sorry, I’m sure this is in a doc somewhere. Maybe I’ll just have two builds and put an ad version on the Chinese store and on the playstore if i ever get unbanned, and just put the clean version on fdroid as a reward lol.

Adding an app with maybe separate appid spamburger: > hey so should new devs do something with their package IDs before submitting to fdroid for the first time in regards to this? that’s up to you, but if you want reproducible builds you’ll have to at least build the F-Droid submitted appid, if you want them separate, that’s two builds spamburger: > I feel like the Google teams are a literal zoo right now everyones getting banned. apps that pay might not be banned, I mean, they can do anything, eg.

Adding an app with maybe separate appid hey so should new devs do something with their package IDs before submitting to fdroid for the first time in regards to this? Literally jumped through all the PlayStore’s idiotic hoops just to have my account get instabanned for no reason anyway and the appeal also rejected so now am looking at alternatives. My iOS app got approved in like a day. I feel like the Google teams are a literal zoo right now everyones getting banned.

Lost my signing key , used a new one but the updates are not being reflected in fdroid if i am ok with with user loosing data from new version data onwards i think maintainer can do something right ? it been barely being a month i released it on fdroid so i dont even think it has even a huge user base In IzzyOnDroid i resolved by talking to maintainer … and my existing app resumed getting updates with new signing key… i hope i can do something similar in fdroid

App Updater with ADB or Shizuku support Shizuku is not FOSS so I’m not sure we’d recommend it any time soon. there’s also GitHub - Hoverth/fdroidcl: A command-line F-Droid desktop client (former mvdan/fdroidcl) sls1005: > F-Droid privileged extension (Needs root) that was rather not used any more since Android 12+ allowed unattended updates

App Updater with ADB or Shizuku support I was trying to find an app-updater that would work after 2027. It should be an app that can install other apps via local ADB. If possible, it should also be able to fetch apk files from existing repos. Below is the list. 1. GitHub - sam1am/anyapk: Install any apk on the device you own. (Very recent, not found in any F-Droid–compatible repo. Supposed to be able to work without Shizuku. The user needs to prepare the apk files.) 2. ADB-OTG (Supposed to be able to work without Shizuku and without wireless debugging; needs another phone to work; can be found on IzzyOnDroid) 3. InstallWithOptions (Needs Shizuku; seems to have been there for a long time, so it is stable? Can be found on IzzyOnDroid) 4. F-Droid privileged extension (Needs root) 5. Droid-ify (Supports Shizuku. Can fetch from existing repos.) 6. Neo Store (Supports Shizuku. Can fetch from existing repos.) I think App Manager and aShell should also be included in this list, but I’m not sure. It’s 2025 now, so I haven’t tested any of these apps with adb. We can start to test them in 2026.

When I do fdroid update it give an error of resources.arsc in the app maybe see res0 must be always zero (#1192) · Issues · F-Droid / fdroidserver · GitLab or res1 must be zero! (#1232) · Issues · F-Droid / fdroidserver · GitLab ? maybe update fdroidserver to the latest from Gitlab, 2.4.2 etc

Lost my signing key , used a new one but the updates are not being reflected in fdroid The app (com.shalenmathew.quotesapp) was set up to be built reproducibly, i.e. you owned the signing key. Now that it’s lost, existing users can’t upgrade. This restriction can’t be bypassed, this is Android’s security feature. Submit your app with a new app ID.

Best google map alternative on F-Droid I don’t quite think this counts as a “Google Maps alternative” considering it literally _is_ Google Maps.

Google will require developer verification to install Android apps, including sideloading & exactly my sarcastic remarks about them being praised above. Five of my extended ++ family members work there, and they so loathe the work they do. Only reason they stick to it is to feed and survive (I guess). Anyways we are going #ot here.

Google will require developer verification to install Android apps, including sideloading roflmao no, nobody knows the people who do the work, they give it all up to google along with any IP rights, even attribution and heck of a lot more to boot, read any IT employment contract, it’s intellectual slavery, and google markets it under its brand, and I’ll tell you from personal experience in the industry most of them aren’t particularly proud of what they are doing there, so yeah sure, thank you very much google employee number 900913 I don’t even know the name of, who probably hates Android’s guts and is sick and tired of having to dig through em all the time, just to meet a deadline of another pointless release that is just a reskin of the previous one with generous sprinkling of bloatware and malware, I hope your six figure salary is enough for you yo retire early, since I know how much you love your job.

Built a private, offline Android launcher to simplify phones for my parents ❤️ I appreciate you sharing this, but over here, we believe in FOSS/FLOSS. Hence, when you are ready with your source code, do respond again. Meanwhile to keep things cleaner, I have removed the playstore link.

Built a private, offline Android launcher to simplify phones for my parents ❤️ Thanks a lot! The source code isn’t public yet I plan to clean it up before sharing. For now, if you’d like to try it and share feedback, the app is available on the Play Store here: **MOD: PS link removed** It’s completely offline, has no ads or trackers, and was built mainly for seniors who find regular launchers overwhelming. Would love to hear your thoughts after trying it!

Google will require developer verification to install Android apps, including sideloading m1k: > but generally none praised Google (employees) for their hard work. The whole wide world praises them, for that wide side does not see the evil it is doing. There is a saying, one bad deed, and you are marked for life. They are doing this evil since a decade (almost, maybe more) now. You do not go back on your words, and start doing nonsense, and then justify it with b**ls** t.

Built a private, offline Android launcher to simplify phones for my parents ❤️ Hi everyone, A while ago, I made a small Android launcher for my parents. They found regular home screens overwhelming too many icons, gestures, and background data running all the time. So I built something calm and privacy-friendly: Big buttons & readable text One-tap calls and messages Works completely offline No ads, no analytics, no background connections It started as a weekend project, but I was surprised how many older users and minimalists found it helpful. It made me realize how much people value simple + private Android experiences. I’d love to hear your thoughts on: what features matter most for a privacy-respecting launcher, and whether you think something like this would fit the spirit of F-Droid. Thanks for reading happy to share more details or get feedback if anyone’s interested!

Google will require developer verification to install Android apps, including sideloading shuvashish76: > A theoretical way to circumvent Android developer verification Sounds like a workable solution, but I’m sure Google will search for such loader apps and ban them. This will be a perpetual cat and mouse game, not a long term solution.

Google will require developer verification to install Android apps, including sideloading Hi, here’s something no one seems to have considered. You guys and girls (if any) vented and complained, among more constructive dialogue, but generally none praised Google (employees) for their hard work. Didn’t Google did bring up and maintain quite a usable system for highly portable daily driver communicator / computer / pocket TV / virtual vending machine / etc. (_insert your usage scenario here_) devices, that most - if not all - of us used throughout the past decade?
