ArcaneChat (previously known as #DeltaLab) an alternative Delta Chat client for #Android is now available in official F-Droid store!

If you already have it you can securely continue to upgrade it now from F-Droid (or #IzzyOnDroid) thanks to #ReproducibleBuilds which ensures the apk matches the source code and not me nor F-Droid is manipulating the binary 🎉

Android FOSS developers, please check if any of your dependencies are downloaded from JCenter or repo.spring.io. Both of those have shut down, resulting in failing (reproducible) builds (though you may not notice if you still happen to have them cached locally).

Many have moved to maven central, where a newer version may be available. But many others have simply become unavailable.

If you are the upstream of such dependencies, please publish them to maven central.

Tip for #android users:

If you search for simple utility apps on #google's play store it will almost always give you a bunch of options that contain ads or ask for unnecessary permissions.

F-Droid is an alternative app store for android devices which exclusively lists apps published under the AGPL (a #copyleft / free-software / open-source license). It's possible to install F-Droid on a normal Android OS via its APK, but that can be intimidating.

Most of the apps on F-Droid are *also* available on the play store. So, even if you aren't ready to fully switch out of Google's ecosystem, you can still use F-Droid's search as a better way to find options that are (in my experience) free of ads and surveillance.

Each app features a page which links to their source code, which usually has a README file, which usually points to their page on the play store.
