license question

May I ask what license you put your app under? You probably only forgot to declare it. If unsure, maybe pick a FOSS one that's approved by OSI/FSF? You can find a list here. Thanks!

I will include an MIT License file within the repo soon (didn't realise there wasn't one and didn't think anyone would really care haha)
Thanks for mentioning 😄

Thanks! Looking forward to that (just wondering the issue is already closed but the license not yet there 🙈).

While on it: The APK attached to release 1.5-beta identifies as

package: name='com.kamwithk.ankiconnectandroid' versionCode='6' versionName='1.4'

thus not matching the tag name. Was that intended, or was the wrong APK attached accidentally?

License file I'll include later on
There is no hurry, I doubt it'll make any difference as to how people use it (nor would I want it to, hence MIT)
Feel free to use this project however you want!
I'll double check the version details before the next release which shouldn't be too far off

Might only partly apply. For example, F-Droid only accepts apps with a F/LOSS license clearly declared, and so does my repo.

That sounds like the WTFPL then 🙈

I'll double check the version details before the next release which shouldn't be too far off

Thanks! Please give me a ping (e.g. by a comment here) when it's up then.

I believe MIT is a FOSS license and is what I'm looking for

Thanks a lot! Your app will become available here now with the next sync around 7 pm UTC. You're welcome then to pick a badge to link there from your Readme if you wish. And if you like, I can send you a PR with the metadata I've set up for that in Fastlane format, which is commonly used for that, so you could control how your app is presented (adjust description, add screenshots etc); all that would then be pulled along with each release you make (my updater checks once per day for new tags with APKs attached).
