[Feature] Purchasing on Fdroid - Using Unlock Code

Open adisib opened this issue 6 years ago • 16 comments

The Fdroid repository merely states that that a donation version is advertised in the app. This suggests that the app is the free version, and Fdroid users are unable to acquire the paid version. I was unable to find any previous issues about this.

I have already purchased the Donate version from the Google Play Store (the more expensive single app version which is vastly superior to an in-app purchase or adding a key app). I am looking to migrate away from the Google Play Store for a multitude of reasons, but I would like to be able to use the paid features of the app.

Does the Fdroid version include donation features? If not, is it possible for me to acquire the donation version outside of the Google Play Store? I've had other apps provide me an apk to side-load after providing my purchase information; is something similar possible here?

I'm also interested in this. And I'd like to pay/donate with bitcoin if at all possible.

You can always donate using paypal/bitcoin and drop me an email. I can send unlocker apk without any google dependency ( ie. unlocker apk is closed source )

I'll try implementing key/text based unlock ( which is in backlog )

Please implement the key/text based unlock ASAP, installing a closed source tool always means a bad feeling (even though we should trust you of course :-)

I simply want to to donate (buy) the PRO version without Google Play store or installing a closed source APK...

Possible duplicate of #638 ?

@ukanth What is your paypal email? I would like the donation version but I do not use gplay.

Nevermind, I did not see the donate button.

@ukanth : I sent you a mail regarding the latest version of the unlocker. Did you get it ?

Hi m8. Im also a user of AFwall but without google apps installed at all.. This is becoming much more popular lately using microG. I would also like the PRO version of afwall+ but without installing any closed source app on my phone for unlocking it.. Is there no alternative yet?

I'm also interested in upgrade to pro version via f-droid without closed source unlockers. Any news?

I do not intent to opensource unlocker. If you have any concerns about the code, I'm open to review the code.

I don't want anything for free but at the same time want the open source lifestyle.

Cant you do it like netguard does? You can use his open source app from fdroid for free, and if you want premium you pay to some place and get e unlock code for the same open source app from fdroid.

Edit:spelling

Yes. I do have plans to implement unlock code.

Yes. I do have plans to implement unlock code.

Well then.. guess we are open for business :)

Let me know when and how I can beta test or help this function happen.

Hi 8 I'm a bit lost about having the unlocked version. I bought it on the playstore but I'm now on lineageOS/microG with no playstore. How can I get the unlock version without playstore (I I could retrieve the version I paid on the playstore that would bo awsome ;) ). Anyway Icould also pay it again, but I don't see anyway to do it. Regards.

@jeanmartin13 drop a line to an address specified here describing your situation. At least that's what I did after a PayPal donation. In your case I think you should write from an address associated with the Google Account that you purchased the AFWall+ from.

I also am very interested in purchasing your pro version. Please implement it asap, but without any closed source app. I m also willing to pay more than the "normal" PlayStore way, no problem for me. But I dont want any closed source apps on my fone at all. You can get inspired by apps like NetGuard or maybe Titanium Backup how they implement the purchasing mode.
