Do you support F-Droid inclusion?

Yes, we would like to include our apps in the F-Droid store. This was actually a main reason why we decided to set a permissive license for the project: https://github.com/airgap-it/airgap-wallet/issues/2.

I assume there will be some issues here, one of them the usage of the google play services (for push notifications). How can this be solved, without removing the feature from the play store version of the app?

Others apps on F-Droid do have notifications without Google play services. It is done by having a build in notification system in the app, this can cause the battery to drain quicker but you can have settings in the app on how often it will check for new transactions like every hour or two instead of constantly for F-Droid users.

Check out the MicroG project!

Service Core (GmsCore) is a library app, providing the functionality required to run apps that use Google Play Services or Google Maps Android API (v2).

Services Framework Proxy (GsfProxy) is a small helper utility to allow apps developed for Google Cloud to Device Messaging (C2DM) to use the compatible Google Cloud Messaging service included with GmsCore.

It would be great to see this in F-Droid, it would definitely add credibility to the project and simplify installation for privacy-aware (de-googled) users. Seems there are some communication issues, @AndreasGassmann seems F-Droid team is waiting for your response: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/rfp/-/issues/1479
