Configure gradle build for multiple APKs. about jetnote

Thanks for your prompt response! I'll try to be as fast once you report I can re-enable updates 😃

Hi IzzySoft thank you for your report, I didn't know about the 30MB limits, Also I'll try to do your suggestion for the per-ABI one, And I will come up with a new release.

[IzzySoft]

Oops, sorry for the misnomer: FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source) and FOSS (Free Open Source) were meant synonymously. But yes, those libraries make it non-free. What features do you need? I'm pretty sure there are proper replacements, see e.g. here. Firestore could be replaced by appwrite or Supabase, for example. Not sure what you need Cloud Audit for, maybe the two can take care for that as well; if note, some of the other bug reporting libraries behind the link might fit.

[youndon]

Yes I see, And I respect your concern for user privacy, I will switch to Supabase as it seems like the big Firebase competitor, Until then I'll release a new one without Google service.

Well, I have released new three APKs (armeabi-v7a, x86 and x86_64).
For me, armeabi is my usual APK,
And I wondering if it's ok to put the three APKs together in the same release,
Or it's fine even if add arm64-v8a supported APK ??

As long as the APK's have "stable names", you can attach as many as you want – I can set my updater to RegEx-match the one needed. You could e.g. use JetNote-armeabi.apk and JetNote-arm64.apk, and I'd tell my updater to only consider /armeabi/i, so it would ignore all others.

Or it's fine even if add arm64-v8a supported APK ??

As pointed out: yes, it's fine. Just let me know which one I shall pick, and keep the naming conventions up between releases (so the RegEx keeps working).

For me, armeabi is my usual APK,

OK, so let's take a look at that:

Offending libs:
---------------
* Google Mobile Services (/com/google/android/gms): NonFreeDep
* Google App Engine (/com/google/appengine): NonFreeNet
* Cloud Audit Logs (/com/google/cloud/audit): Tracking
* Google Cloud Logging Client for Java (/com/google/cloud/logging): NonFreeNet
* Firebase (/com/google/firebase): NonFreeNet,NonFreeDep
* firebase-firestore (/com/google/firebase/firestore): NonFreeDep,NonFreeNet

6 offenders.

Those are still there (were added with the previous release). Can we get rid of them, so it's FLOSS again? With those included, your app is no longer FOSS (as it contains proprietary parts). Plus I'd have to add 3 AntiFeatures, which would scare most FOSS-folks away. I guess removing Cloud Audit would get rid of all 6, though I'm not sure about Firestore.

[youndon]

Ok, If I understand you correctly, there serious issue in my google cloud service and it's FLOSS, And I should drop it to be FOSS right,
I really would, just tell me If there alternative service I could use, because it's a big step back, I mean It's google you know how hard to get something similar.

[IzzySoft]

Great, thanks! So I'll wait for the first Supabase-release to avoid adding the antiFeatures now? Will you give me a ping then, or will there be another issue tracking that progress I can subscribe to?
