While I appreciate bringing up the security concerns the existence of alternatives to #FDroid I do not think we have those when it comes to pure FOSS apps without the usual big corporate trackers/libs. #Accrescent lists a few apps and fails to provide relevant information about them (such as requested permissions). E.g. #Qlango includes multiple tracking libraries by #Meta / #Facebook and doesn't look like it is FOSS to any degree. Even while the #FDroid repo is not carefully curated I don't run into traps like these. 🤷
There is a need for a curated and maintained FOSS app repo and currently there is nobody but @fdroidorg providing it. #Obtainium, #Accrescent are mostly option for expert users who exactly know who to trust and what they are looking for. @Kulei @newhinton
Die Signatur-Problematik bei F-Droid ist offenbar noch immer nicht gelöst: "We find it concerning that F-Droid constantly chooses to move the goalposts and continues to rely on a fundamentally broken approach for certificate pinning, merely patching [15] known vulnerabilities without ever addressing the underlying cause." 😵👇

My mother-in-law set up the #Nextcloud app to back up photos from her #Android phone. However, no photos were uploaded. I thought she did something wrong, but in fact it was set up correctly, including all permissions. But nothing was even queued for upload. I couldn't make it work either.
I got a recommendation for #FolderSync, but it's freemium and it felt fishy with all the data consent dialogs. Then I went to #FDroid and discovered #RoundSync and wow, it's a great piece of software, clean, lean and does reliably what I want it to do. The sad fact is that @newhinton, app developer, gets 3€/month for it on Liberapay. We really need to get more money into open source apps.
#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.
Coming soon to an app store near you!

This week in #FDroid (TWIF):
- We will remove the "gentle update" from F-Droid 1.22.0-alpha, as it is not stable enough. Thank you for testing (and finding bugs)!
- there is a new article on how to replace most common apps with open source versions
- Fossify Paint was added
- we recommend to switch from Mull to Fennec (as Mull has stopped development)
- OpenTracks is now available as reproducible and non-reproducible variant
- Exclave, a SagerNet fork was added

Thanks to @VishnuSanal, #Prav is on Google Play Store now. It requires a 2-week testing period before being open to public downloads. Right now, only authorized testers can test it.
If you are interested in testing, please share your Gmail address with us.
On the other hand, the app is free to download from #Fdroid. Please remember that the service is still in public beta.
Stay tuned!

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.
Coming soon to an app store near you :)
⚠️ 🚨 It’s time to stop using Blabber.im 🚨⚠️
The abandoned fork of #Conversations_im has a critical security issue: attackers can bypass STARTTLS negotiation, resulting in an unencrypted connection to a fake server. This vulnerability is similar to the STARTLS attack discovered in various email clients¹
✅ Fixed in Conversations 2.13.1 (Feb 2024)
📢 Please migrate to Conversations immediately! It's free on Google Play until the end of the year and always free on #fdroid
#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.

I have been using #K9 for a while now through #FDroid. Will K9 update/merge into #Thunderbird? Or should I uninstall K9 then install Thunderbird?

This week in #FDroid (TWIF) is a lot to read, and also we missed the toot about last week.
In short:
- F-Droid client 1.21 was released, but you should wait for 1.21.1 before you update
- there were some bugs in DAVx⁵, Nextcloud and Tailscale, so be careful in updating these too
- we're working together with @Codeberg to get our builds from apps hosted there working again
- any much more

#Repology only has marginal support for F-Droid, only seeing a few handpicked packages for software which is also available in Linux:

I've recently had a few PRs which improve F-Droid support and add #IzzyOnDroid, allowing full-fledged version comparison within Android ecosystem.
I wonder if any #fdroid maintainers or @IzzyOnDroid would be interested in that.
Pixelfed for Android (v1.0.0.70) is now available via our F-Droid repo!
Our Google Play build is pending approval, and is expected to be available within the next 24 hours.
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 🎉

This is what hides Organic Maps from F-Droid search by default?
Really?
A hotel widget to fucking kayak dot com and... the download server for maps? Yikes.
That sucks, F-Droid. Arguably the kayak.com thing is funny, yes, but... The maps CDN? :(
Viele meiner Patientinnen notieren ihren Zyklus im Kalender. Manche benutzen auch Apps.
Falls ich dafür auch eine App benutzen wollt, empfehle ich euch dringend keine aus dem GooglePlayStore, denn die enthalten alle Tracker und sind unzuverlässig. Außerdem wollen wir unsere intimen Gesundheitsdaten nicht durch die Welt posaunen.
Also, falls ich eine App dazu benutzen möchtet, kann ich "Drip" aus dem F-Droid Store empfehlen.

Dear @IzzyOnDroid , I have seen this many times since I started using #fdroid (..and your #repo).
At the screenshot you see an app last updated 7 years ago and a note stating that IT SEEMS to be no longer maintained. For me, its abandoned and unless you have metrics that show active users, why bother keeping the app at all?
🇬🇧 Finally we're live with a new set of features! More than 18% of the apps at IzzyOnDroid already have Reproducible Builds – that's more than 1 out of 6, and more will follow. Two wonderful clients will make this and more transparent for you soon. Read about all the exciting news in this article: android.izzysoft.de/articles/n…

#NewPipe 0.27.2 is out now!
This version fixes the recent issues with YouTube and Bandcamp. Support for on.soundcloud.com URLs was also added.
The new version is available through our #FDroid repo (newpipe.net/FAQ/tutorials/inst…) and should be shipped with F-Droid's main repo in the next days. The in-app updater should offer the update within one hour.

Hey @fdroidorg, how about we replace the "Non-Free Network Services" flag with two more specific Anti-Feature flags; "Non-Changeable Network Services" and "Proprietary Network Services";

I participated in the #OsmAnd anniversary quiz and now I've won 3 months of OsmAnd pro... Except that:
- I don't need it, as I use the full version from #FDroid
- despite that, I somehow still pay a monthly fee to them. (I'm actually not sure who pays that bill though 🤷 )
In other words, send me a PM if you want three months of OsmAnd Pro.
The manual on how to activate is here: osmand.net/promo/manual/#engli…
You'll need either an Apple or Google account for this.

It's pretty unsavory how everybody talks about #MarketPlaces when it comes to platforms for distributing apps. I guess because of #DMA. But it's important to take a step back once in a while and appreciate that like many other #FOSS platforms #FDroid is not a maket place, it's a #commons.
