We will no longer publish Findroid on the Huawei AppGallery store.

The reasons are:

  • User base is very small.
    I don't have exact numbers for active users but the app has less then 200 downloads over the span of 2 years.
  • The next version of HarmonyOS will drop support for Android apps.
  • People can continue to install Findroid using other methods like Fdroid (soon) or directly downloading the APK from GitHub.
  • Less work making a build, writing release notes, publishing to the store.
  • No longer need for the specific huawei flavor of Findroid.
    This was necessary because Huawei disallows the use of the Android robot in the app logo. So a different logo was created. Which meant a separate flavor in the codebase.

Required steps:

  • Delete the app from Huewei AppGallery
  • Remove badge from README
  • Remove huawei flavor
