I have requested on GitLab that the creators of Kiwix delete a unnecessary permission, Change_Network_State. This has finally been done in the newest release “Kiwix 3.1.3” and I requested that someone could try to find a way to get new Kiwix versions to F-Droid. But nothing seams to have happened since the request some months ago.
There is a thread about it here: Update Kiwix package to version 3.0 (#1823) · Issues · F-Droid / Data · GitLab
But there is no new comment since three months and the newest version on F-Droid is still Kiwix 2.5.3
There has been five new versions since 2.5.3 but I wonder if there is any solution to the problem described on GitLab?
Was the migration finished?
I don’t know and honestly I’m so incompetent that I don’t know what a migration is yet. But I hope someone else can answer that.
About the version code: last version was still with variables instead of a hardcoded number.
For people who don’t know the background: The problem is already discussed: Update Kiwix package to version 3.0 (#1823) · Issues · F-Droid / Data · GitLab and in this forum.
- Official: 3.9.1 Releases · kiwix/kiwix-android · GitHub
- F-Droid repo: 2.4 Kiwix | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
- IzzyOnDroid repo: 3.8 Kiwix - IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repository
Why doesn’t IzzyOnDroid scrape the newest version from the download page?
