My impression is that Mapbox is tolerated by the F-droid community to be used as a dependency in an app. The Mapbox docs tell the developers to retrieve the dependency from the Mapbox maven repo https://api.mapbox.com/downloads/v2/releases/maven. So this repo must be added to the repository section in the build.gradle file.
But when building the app using fdroid build the error message ERROR: Found unknown maven repo 'https://api.mapbox.com/downloads/v2/releases/maven' at build.gradle tells me that this repository is not trusted by F-droid.
Is there someone who can tell me if it is somehow possible to use Mapbox as a dependency for an F-droid compatible app?
Mapbox Maps for Android version 10.0 (‘Mapbox Maps Android SDK’) or higher must be used according to the Mapbox Terms of Service. This license allows developers with a current active Mapbox account to use and modify the Mapbox Maps Android SDK. Developers may modify the Mapbox Maps Android SDK code so long as the modifications do not change or interfere with marked portions of the code related to billing, accounting, and anonymized data collection. The Mapbox Maps Android SDK sends anonymized location and usage data, which Mapbox uses for fixing bugs and errors, accounting, and generating aggregated anonymized statistics. This license terminates automatically if a user no longer has an active Mapbox account.
