Add universal .apk file to github releases #24
Comments
Hi @emanuelb, what would you know need to download the APK for? We don't want to encourage users to install outside of stores due to lack of automatic updates. If you need an APK, Actions for tags have them already. |
The only store that should be encouraged on Android is F-Droid main repo, related issue for publishing the app on F-Droid is: #6 and in this issue 2 different people ask about availability of apk (which if there wasn't already issue about f-droid I opened issue myself from my "template" which also contain explanations/related information... see info in issue I opened for another lightning bitcoin wallet blixt: hsjoberg/blixt-wallet#329 ) Regarding automatic updates, even app downloaded from google-play doesn't ensure automatic updates, because:
Downloading APK for old versions is not possible via the GooglePlay directly (Some Apk mirror/downloading sites offer downloading of old versions) You can see list of more then 30 issues for bitcoin wallets to add APK downloads outside GooglePlay (Mostly Github Releases) in : https://gitlab.com/walletscrutiny/walletScrutinyCom/-/issues/228 (Will add comment to this issue later with more details/explanation why it's needed/useful)
It's kinda solution to download APK of tagged version which is less visible/approachable then github releases (which also include changelog for the release) |
True, but not using a store is 100% guarantee of that and that's not an acceptable trade-off for us.
Not sure why you'd want old versions, but you can always build from source if you needed them.
Like I said, less visible is a feature. If someone has good reasons to not use other distribution methods, they can go ahead and put the burden on themselves, but I won't make it for users that might not understand the trade-offs to do so. |
