F-Droid inclusion and separate gradle flavor request

[ClockGen]

I'd like to include your app to F-Droid, which is a catalogue of FOSS apps and client and server software for its distribution. You can read more about F-Droid at http://f-droid.org/. As per inclusion policy, I must ask for your permission to do so. As for inclusion progress, you can track it here: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/8118.
If you agree, I also must ask you for a separate gradle flavor without com.google.android.play.core library, which is not FOSS.

Is that duplicate of https://gitlab.com/fdroid/rfp/-/issues/16016 ?? (or #29)
I need some time to upload images and update the description, I'll do it on the weekend

[ClockGen]

No, that one is a request for packaging, while the merge request is the actual packaging (or at least providing the f-droid build server with build instructions to build the app on the next run).

Can this issue be closed since Brackeys IDE is available now or am I misunderstanding something?

[ClockGen]

@alexanderadam So far we've added it with a massive patch that removes play core library and it's respective code (it's useless anyway since it's used for in-app updates and F-Droid signs apks with it's own key), and this patch already proven to break at every update. So far I fixed it but most likely it'll keep breaking.
So a separate gradle flavor without this library would be greatly appreciated.

@ClockGen I'm working on architecture improvements, I'll let you know when I make the separate flavor 👌

[massivemadness]

@ClockGen I added a new gradle flavor called fdroid, you can use it for building the app
