Add bitbox mobile app to f-droid
For easy installation and updates without using the google playstore, adding the bitbox app to f-droid would be beneficial.
Very good point. We've already been looking into it but it's been a while. I'll check again what the requirements are and how to make it work.
A couple tips from someone in the Telegram group. :pray:
How to create your own repository:
- https://www.f-droid.org/en/tutorials/create-repo/; or
- https://android.izzysoft.de/articles/named/fdroid-intro-3?lang=en
Could take NewPipe rollout of theirs as a reference: https://newpipe.net/blog/announcement/f-droid/pinned/f-droid-repo/
It's handy to have your own Shift Crypto repository as you are not dependent on main F-Droid's repository compilation and QoS times; you got an update, you push it, it's available promptly.
yes, absolutely. i just haven't had time to work on it.
If you like, I may open a RFP (Request for Packaging) and the F-Droid team will help you.
F-Droid definitely needs a fastlane structure for the metadata like descriptions and screenshots. Should I open a PR for that?
Just some expectation management: At the moment we wont have time to setup our own pipeline/build.

but if it is possible to get into f-droid without manually having to submit a build or maintain additional infrastructure I believe we are all for it and would love your help.

An own pipeline or build is not needed. Extra Infrastructure is not needed too. I'm just not sure how F-Droid handles this because this repo contains more than just the "pure" Android app. But the maintainers from F-Droid will find a way I hope.
My PR should clear the point about the metadata (description, screenshots, changelogs etc.) completely.
