In case you wonder: "SkyTube Extra" will disappear from the #IzzyOnDroid repo with the next sync as it no longer meets the inclusion criteria (gitlab.com/IzzyOnDroid/repo/-/…). For details, please see github.com/SkyTubeTeam/SkyTube…

(the major culprit is the integrated self-updater with an update checker that cannot even be disabled. Such "updates" would bypass the extra checks established in the IzzyOnDroid repo – so if they're not opt-in with the implications made clear, they're a no-go)

OK, there we go – and apologies for the delay, but there was heavy #AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid today with 21 updated and 1 added apps:

* Musikus: your personal practice companion

One app returned to #IzzyOnDroid on request of its author, though it's also available at F-Droid:

* LogFox: a LogCat reader

JetNote was removed, as announced earlier – and Occtax switched to a proper signing key.

This is a repository of apps to be used with F-Droid. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).

Before the update run completes & app-rain toot comes, some other exciting news from the #IzzyOnDroid repo that won't fit in there:

* JetNote was removed as it still used a debug key for signing.
* Occtax switched to a new and proper signing key, using key rotation, so even direct updates are possible*.

So gitlab.com/IzzyOnDroid/repo/-/… could finally be closed. There should be no debug-signed apps at IzzyOnDroid anymore after the next sync.

So now it happened. Luckily, at #IzzyOnDroid we've used the proposed patches and thus are not affected – but if you run the latest fdroidserver with the "official patches", you will be: Occtax performed a key rotation. Went smooth here at IzzyOnDroid – but failed with the official code when we cross-checked.

@fdroidorg should be aware of that as we've told them. See gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver… for details. So you cannot have such APKs in your repo anymore at all even if you don't pin any keys.

@neatnit Hard to answer in toots, but for a short one: 1) if they need apps offered there, yes. 2) F-Droid builds from source, but #IzzyOnDroid has faster updates, more transparency concerning "what's inside the app" and other scanner results in the repo browser, plus additional checks in place, see eg. android.izzysoft.de/articles/n…

More details in another blog post hopefully ready towards the end of this month. But a comparison matrix should better be done by someone impartial 😉

Zusätzliche APK-Checks im IzzyOnDroid Repo

Nachdem der Library-Scanner nun seit mehreren Jahren im IzzyOnDroid Repo im Einsatz ist war es an der Zeit, einige zusätzliche APK-Prüfungen zu etablieren.

^IzzyOnDroid

No #AndroidAppRain today? It's not that we were lazy. Your favorite cat and the ferret were rather busy looking for the 8th egg…

So just 5 apps updated today. One of them is Plexus, which returned to the #IzzyOnDroid repo on request of its authors, as at F-Droid their updates seem to be stuck. As Plexus was set up as reproducible build, you can easily update it from IoD now

1 app had to be removed for security reasons: PackageViewer (com.mai.packageviewer) had the full credentials & the keystore file in their Github repo, and it's author responded only with "ignore". We can't ignore this, so it had to be removed (and the leaked signing key blacklisted).

@evana Oopsie… No offense meant! Wasn't aware you were involved. Still, my "rant" holds its truth unfortunately in far too many places. But I should add that with the current tools it's not always easy to be aware what went it or what dragged in other things (well, one can check the dependency tree in most cases, but does not always remember too). One reason more than one FOSS dev expressed their thanks to the additional checks at the #IzzyOnDroid repo, for example…

So: apologies 4 my phrasing!

Ah, PS, forgot to mention the

1 app was removed: not having received answers to my question from #ProtonMail for 1 year 3 months, them having the issue tracker closed a few months ago, now the entire repo was archived. There's a new repo, but app size increased even more – and still no per-ABI builds.

Thus I had to remove ProtonMail now from #IzzyOnDroid, and its return is rather unlikely. Please complain to them not me should this be an issue for you – and sorry for the sad news.
