Your App for F-Droid !!!

[theScrabi]

Hei there, I just found this app on flatpak, and kind of like it :) @prateekmedia It would be cool if you would put your app on the F-Droid repository to. This way you could also reach a broader audience :)

[prateekmedia]

Hi @theScrabi, I was very much inspired from your NewPipe app. Although it is awesome but I thought of creating a app that would be similar but Multi-platform.

Also thanks for the suggestion, I will try to upload it to F-droid although I have not done it before.

Yea sure flutter is the future. If i had the time and the resources I would love to have a NewPipe front end completely written in flutter because of the system independence.

We're waiting for Fastlane (example here), otherwise everything is ok to include this app on F-Droid ;)

@prateekmedia in case you're not receiving GitLab notifications: can you please visit your RFP and answer the open questions, so we can proceed? Else the RFP would be closed for inactivity in 4 weeks, which would be a pity.

[IzzySoft]

Thanks @prateekmedia – I removed the closure label again. Wish you good progress!

Is this still being worked on?

It's been over a year.

[prateekmedia]

@IzzySoft Anything blocked from my side for PsTube, I think you have already marked it as ready on gitlab

[IzzySoft]

I've marked it ready for processing back then. It's still waiting to be picked up. I'm not an Android dev or "experienced packager", and the mix of languages our bot (and also Github here) says is used by the project kept me from trying it myself – but you can open an MR yourself to get things rolling. I could provide you a "skeleton YAML" to start with; if we're lucky it works out straight away, if not it will need some helping hands.

[prateekmedia]

@IzzySoft Please provide the skeleton YAML, I will create a MR

[IzzySoft]

OK, there you go with metadata/com.prateekmedia.pstube.yml. The build block will certainly need some adjustments, and the recipe expects Flutter to be added as a git submodule (always pointing to the Flutter version you need, so changing to a newer Flutter release would not require another MR at F-Droid for adjustments):

Note this is mostly copy-pasted from other recipes, I'm not that familiar with Flutter…

PS: Your pubspec.yaml indicates versionCode: 2. That was a surprise to me, as there are definitely more than 2 releases available already. I'm puzzled how that matches…

[prateekmedia]

@IzzySoft I don't update versionCode often, but I will once this is on some store.

[IzzySoft]

Well, isn't it in mine? So who currently uses it via that, rarely receives any updates. In fact, at maximum received a single one (when you increased to 2). I strongly suggest you start increasing with each release now :wink:
