We have a new This week in (TWIF) post.

Thanks to the EU's DMA, 3rd party stores will get more love and treated more equally than before.

Tailscale is doing a redesign, until that's done we've released the crash fix update.

Conversations and Quicksy have their 10th anniversary and celebrate with a design update.

Last but not least, we had 10 new and 160 updated apps this week.

@bart
There are plenty of people working on app stores on iOS, but using F-Droid repository as a base might be a goal.

2 days ago I reported about a patch having been applied to the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo aka – but I didn't give much details. After it was tested now at the IoD test & staging area, and running smoothly for two days for the public one, I reported back to its author @obfusk that all seems smooth, and she decided to make POC & patch public. You can find the full details at https://github.com/obfusk/fdroid-fakesigner-poc & https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/04/08/8 now. @fdroidorg @eighthave be welcome using it!

PSA: The panic button features built into F-Droid break when targeting newer Android SDK versions (e.g. ) due to new restrictions.

It might be possible to get them working again, but we currently do not have the bandwidth to maintain this. We welcome contributions to get it going again. Until then, removing the panic features looks to be our only responsible course of action. includes built-in panic features like app removal, so that is a recommended replacement.

Bad news: just released version 7.1.0 of my TKCompanionApp on @fdroidorg and... it crashes! 😭
If there is any user of my little app, please stick with version 7.0.0 until I fix this.

@fdroidorg@floss.social avatar

@AAMfP we've disabled 7.1.0, so it should no longer be available on the next index update

@videolan you recently had a tweet that you can't update the app on Google Play. What about tagging a new release for F-Droid, so that we can update?

Just so you know, we're starting to release a new version of ALL addons (on Play Store). Source code at https://github.com/AnySoftKeyboard/AnySoftKeyboard/tree/release-branch-addons-v5.0-r1

This roll-out includes fixes to many languages, but mostly was triggered due to Play Store's new guidelines:

  • Each pack will now have a generic app and launcher icon.
  • various Android 13+ privacy and other guidelines adjustments.

@anysoftkeyboard we would also like a better process for ASK. Probably this needs some work from our and your side. Can we discuss the details in an issue?

So I was looking for a app. Open Camera is great but is too overloaded with features for my everyday usage. Also, I like Material You with it's simple unified UI.
So, since I'm on @iode I realized they host an Aperture fork on their instance. Did not realise up until now but greatly appreciate it. The few unofficial APKs flying around online aren't optimized for specific phones.
Very nice, thanks for that (and your OS in general 🙂)

@nido @iode While that link does not currently point to the right repo, there's work in progress to improve sharing of repos and their apps. Stay close! :)

@r3vilo The conditions needed for an app to be autoupdated are not only based on device Android version but also on the app 'targetsdk' value. Basic has shed at least 2 functions, and it could reach a higher value already, while Full client is work in progress. You can see this message for many apps. What is targetsdk? https://developer.android.com/google/play/requirements/target-sdk

Hi @protonvpn We already have Proton VPN on F-Droid. And our users are looking forward to getting more Proton apps on F-Droid. Do you also want that?

Both Drive ( https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/12721 ) and Pass (https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/13312 ) are waiting for your help to be finalized.

fdroidorg,
@fdroidorg@floss.social avatar

@esplovago @protonvpn @protonmail F-Droid contributors cleaned up non-FOSS deps and opened PRs for Fastlane, but we need Proton's feedback next to: agree with the inclusion and said modifications, start tagging, maybe include an actual foss flavor that takes care of the cleaning.
