Publish custom apps “Wikivoyage” and “Chemistry & Physics simulations” in F-Droid

[4tip]

A app called Kiwix, created by “Kiwix Team” is available in F-Droid and I wonder if someone could get two other apps by “Kiwix Team” to the F-Droid repo?? Or release the source code, that F-Droid workers can use to include the apps in F-Droid?
The names of the apps are “Wikivoyage” and “Chemistry & Physics simulations”.

@4tip The problem is that the FDroid team/software can not deal properly with APK extension files like the Play store does.

What are APK extension files? Those OBBs?

[kelson42]

Yes

Just to be clear, all Kiwix is FOSS.

@eighthave Wasn't OBB support fixed at some point? I'm not aware of its status.

[eighthave]

I think OBB support works, but it is not heavily tested. We welcome bug reports if anyone finds anything.

I have reopen the ticket. We are willing to help to see this happening. I have moved the ticket to the right repository. But this will tak IMO a bit of time before this will happen except if someone else does the job on the side on Flathub.
