There is a app that is standing shortly before starting to work on F-Droid release.
You can find the app and the APK files in here: GitHub - torlando-tech/columba: Native Android messaging app using Bluetooth LE, TCP, or RNode (LoRa) over LXMF and Reticulum · GitHub
The license changed to AGPLv3 and the app is now fully Kotlin based.
All the software the app is pulling in can be found here: h ttps://github.com/torlando-tech
Shortly the application moved to JitPack and do not have to build that much dependencies any more. In this F-Droid forum there are only a few other places where people have talked about F-Droid apps building in JitPack binaries. In most cases the reason for this was the JitPack binaries was from someone else. But here those are from the same development source: h ttps://github.com/torlando-tech
This was the situation about 3 days ago where the app was building all of its parts on its own. h ttps://github.com/torlando-tech/columba/tree/67d2318ba1ddcd29956a4594f4d4d316a2a85dcc
Would it be possible to use JitPack when creating a official F-Droid build?
This is F-Droid discussion issue at the app: h ttps://github.com/torlando-tech/columba/issues/20
Side note: This F-Droid forum account is shared between some people working on this app.
