Any chance of this being submitted to F-Droid? :)

I'd love to, but I couldn't figure out how to. Do you know how to publish Flutter apps on F-Droid?

I tried publishing Holt Soundboard (an app I made a while ago with Flutter) to F-Droid, but I could not figure out how to. I know that you have to add a app.id.yml file with your app's metadata, but I couldn't figure it out from there. (This is what I tried for Holt Soundboard)

  1. All requests are made via https://gitlab.com/fdroid/rfp/-/issues
  2. Apps must follow fastlane file structure (recommended I believe?) - option 1 or option 2 (F-Droid explanation)
  3. App must be FOSS and not have any trackers or they must be open-source and disabled by default (ACCA is the alternative for analytics, etc.).

Once 2 and 3 are valid, you can make a request through 1 and once it gets reviewed by a volunteer and approved, F-Droid will add the app and do the builds on its own and every time you release a new tagger version, it will get picked up. Requests can take a few weeks to get viewed, typically if nobody does so within 2-4 weeks you can ping the reviewers.

As far as I know apps on F-Droid have to be build from source. And it seems that there is no official Futter support to do so: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues/1162
