#Catima 2.39.1 is out!
github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…
This fixes a crash bug which was reported using the new #ACRA crash reporter functionality *less than 3 hours after the last version released*. If that's not an ACRA success story I don't know what is ;)

#Catima 2.39.0 is out!
github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…
This release targets Android 16 and fixes a crash. Sadly, Google removed support for controlling screen orientation, so this functionality had to be removed.
Catima now also includes ACRA in the FOSS release for crash reporting. If a crash occurs, a dialog will appear to ask you to report the crash. Reports are never sent automatically and you can always review it.

#Catima 2.38.0 is out!

This release adds support for .pkpasses, removes the Stocard importer (as Stocard no longer exists) and removes images from the widget below Android 12L.
Do note that the widget change is not what we want. If anyone understands this crash and has a fix, I'd love to hear it, so we can support images on all Android versions: github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…

Thanks for the new widget! Great! But there is a problem: if the cards have no pictures, everything works. If you add a picture to at least one card, the application closes with an error and the wi...TheLastProject (GitHub)
If anyone is curious, my current Android setup is as follows:
I use #NeoStore or #Droidify (currently Neo Store, the new stats support is just too tempting) with the #IzzyOnDroid repo as primary app source, the #FDroid repo as secondary.
If I need something not on either of those, I will use #AuroraStore to access #GooglePlay.
Random APKs from GitHub or whatever only in very very specific cases. I will generally wait until the app drops on F-Droid or (preferably) IzzyOnDroid.
#Google: We need to limit #sideloading, #GooglePlay is so much safer!

#Catima 2.37.0 is out!
This release features a redesigned logo, kindly contributed by il-Luca (github.com/il-Luca) and Aeven-Dev (github.com/aeven-dev).
The redesign was kept very close to the original design from TangentFoxy (github.com/TangentFoxy), to try to not affect people's ability to recognize the app in their app drawer.

#Catima 2.36.0 is out!
In this release we added a card list widget, one of the most requested features since the project was started!
We hope to extend the widget in the future to allow you to choose which cards you want to show and how you want them sorted.

100K. One hundred thousand. That's a lot of #Catima users! And happy users, it seems, looking at that 4.5 star rating ❤️
Just, wow, I never expected my little hobby app to reach 100K active users, and that's just on #GooglePlay, still excluding other app stores like #IzzyOnDroid, #FDroid, direct downloads from #GitHub and sketchy app piracy sites (please don't use that last one, for your own safety 😅)!
Very cool :)
#Catima 2.35.1 is out! This is a very boring release, just containing some dependency and translation updates. It also adds 1 new community-contributed language: Persian.
If your favourite language is not (completely) supported, consider contributing on hosted.weblate.org/projects/ca… (no AI or "Google Translate" translations please, nobody is helped by low-quality translations filled with errors).

This release lets you further tweak the barcode size in the fullscreen view and slightly improves barcode finding reliability when scanning or loading a barcode from an image or PDF file. It also fixes a crash when trying to load a pkpass file without a barcode in it.

#Catima 2.34.5 is out!
This is a maintenance release that targets Android 15 and fixes a crash.
The app will look slightly uglier on some devices, due to Google's changes in how drawing over the system and navigation bar works. Sadly, supporting proper edge-to-edge requires extensive rewrites (help very welcome!), so I opted to at least ensure we target Android 15 before any deadlines.

#catima 2.34.4 is out!
This reverts Catima to targetSdk 34 (Android 14) for now, to fix the UI regressions introduced in Catima 2.34.3.
It also includes the fixes in 2.34.3 and a new little feature to sort your cards by the "valid from" date, useful for things like train tickets.

Hello folks I need your help, after a lot of efforts, I am on the final steps of making #ArcaneChat available in #GooglePlay
now they ask to create a "closed testing release" where only some invited testers via their google account email address can participate and install the app before they allow a public release
please write to me in private sending me your google account's email address (gmail I guess) to join as beta-tester, thanks a lot in advance! ♥️🙏
Happy holidays to all who celebrate them!
I just released a minor Catima bugfix release: 2.34.2. This version fixes the archived/starred status being hard to see or even invisible when displayed on top of certain card images.

#Catima 2.34.1 is out!
This fixes a minor bug in Catima 2.34.0 where selecting an "invalid" pkpass file (corrupted/not actually pkpass) after choosing to open from Pkpass would cause the app to crash. Now, you just get a little message stating the file could not be read instead.
Coming soon to an app store near you.
#Catima 2.34.0 is out!
This release adds support for #Passbook (#pkpass) files, commonly used for event tickets and more!
It also contains some other minor fixes and better handling of image thumbnails (especially transparent ones).
On the end-user side, this release probably doesn't look that different, but it contains some major code refactoring. It is also the first release with #Kotlin code in it.

This fixes a regression in 2.32.0 which could break text display in the add dialog in non-English languages which I sadly missed in review: github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…
It also contains some translation updates that were submitted between the last release and just now.

Another day, another malicious Open Source app clone on #GooglePlay
Of course, according to Google, this app does not violate the "impersonation" policy. Probably because they're making money off the malicious clone (given it contains ads) but not off the original app.

Hey, can you give an overview of this library scanner of yours? Is it available anywhere? Looks really useful!
#android #apps #google #googleplay
We've been told Google Play transparently shows what data is collected etc, right? And whether an app has Ads? Well, dream on. I've just checked an app to see if it would fit my repo. Below is what Play (play.google.com/store/apps/det…) says about it (no "Ads" marker), then the results from my library scanner.
Careful what you believe and whom you trust.

#Catima has reached 35k active users on #GooglePlay, holding fairly strong at a 4.6 star average. Pretty cool how it keeps growing.
As always, I have no stats for #FDroid as they do not track active installations.
When #GooglePlay introduced privacy labels, I was very curious to see how they managed to get reliable data about the #privacy properties of Android apps. I know first-hand how difficult and time-consuming privacy audits of #Android apps can be. Now Mozilla has taken a closer look, and it seems #Google doesn't even have reliable data.
