F-Droid release
F-Droid is a great place for open-source apps. It allows to install your apps on the devices doesn't has a Play Services.
Please consider releasing your app on F-Droid. Thanks!
Developers don't release their apps on F-Droid; F-Droid grabs the source code from developers' repos and then builds it themself. Requesting this here is mostly pointless, you need to request it on the F-Droid requests tracker, although developers can apparently request a merge directly if they wish to quicken the pace.
Either way, F-Droid explicitly forbids Google Firebase/Analytics.
So long as Firebase is pulled in the source code for PxView, it cannot be added to F-Droid. A better request would be to replace Firebase with ACRA; if ACRA is used, or Firebase removed, PxView can be added to F-Droid (I'm fairly sure; I don't think there's any other proprietary libraries bundled).
@alphasp Please consider releasing a F-Droid release with analytics replaced or removed then. An open source, easy to install version would go a long way. Thanks.
I definitely also endorse the use of ACRA or, at least the removal of Firebase. This app would be a very welcome addition to F-Droid!
@alphasp Hello, is this project still alive? Or it would be better to search for forks w/o analytics?
@Rult This project is still alive, I am working on some big updates, stay tuned.
For next version, I am going to migrate Fabric Crashlytics with Firebase Crashlytics as Fabric will be deprecated soon. Unfortunately, F-Droid release is not on my priority and I need crash reporting that is free and easy to use for me.
Can you make a proprietary version that includes Crashlytics and an F-Droid version that does not include it? I would like to be able to switch between them in the build options.
Can I patch out firebase in F-Droid build metadata and submit it to F-Droid?
