Submit to F-Droid about shuttle HOT 16 OPEN

Shuttle uses Play Services for Firebase integration (analytics). GCM != Play Services.

I'm working towards automating apk deployment, firstly to the releases section of Github. Once that's done, I'll create an F-droid branch of the project which removes Crashlytics/Firebase.

As someone who only get apps from F-droid it would be lovely if you could make it compatible with the official branch 👍

Just joining my voice here, thank you for open sourcing it !

See https://f-droid.org/wiki/page/Inclusion_Policy.

This would require adding a build flavor without Crashlytics, firebase and play services.

Hey, has there been an update on this?

from shuttle.

I'd love to have the Shuttle Player on F-Droid, too! Any news on this?

from shuttle.

Meanwhile, attaching the .apk to releases/ (and dropping me a note) could bring it into my repository (F-Droid compatible) immediately, see Creating Releases for details on how to achieve that (pretty easy, no much time spent on it).

Also infos why for example services like play services are needed would be nice.

@Thaodan seeing vending.CHECK_LICENSE being requested, one of the reasons in the free version might be upgrading to Shuttle+ via IAP – which should not hurt being removed from the FOSS version. I'd still be interested for what a music player might need GCM, though 😉

Good plan, @timusus ! Still curious: What does the app use GCM for?

from shuttle.

@IzzySoft Shuttle doesn't use GCM.

from shuttle.

@timusus strange. Then I wonder what went wrong with the analysis on Appbrain, which states so.

from shuttle.

Thanks, @timusus – it's available in my repo now 😺

@IzzySoft it's not F-droid ready yet. Still need to create a version without Play-Services/Crash lyrics.

As for AppBrain, I'm not sure why it's getting a false-positive for GCM.. Maybe something to do with Firebase..

from shuttle.

Understood, @timusus – still, if you include my repo with your F-Droid client, it now is available by that, including updates whenever you create a new tag and attach an .apk to it. Just follow the link to see for yourself 😺 But yes, for the official repo it would need that special version.

Hi. Some time has passed. Can anyone tell the status on this?

from shuttle.

No change as yet
