v1.7.0 lacks APK

Could you please attach the APK to the release of v1.7.0 – for those outside of Playstore? Thanks!

@housseindjirdeh Can you attach the file when you have time? And btw, I suggest to make a real release to AppStore/Playstore.

@chinesedfan don't forget F-Droid, if possible 😉

As due to the use of GMS and Firebase the app is not acceptable for the official repo, your app currently is available in mine (but stuck at v1.5.0 due to the missing APKs here). If you can provide a flavor that comes without those, I gladly assist you to bring Git-Point to the official F-Droid Repo, just let me know then!

@chinesedfan @housseindjirdeh any news? The APK is still missing.

Ugh, any chance – or must we give up on the app?

@IzzySoft Be patient or forget this app temporarily. I have been ready to build a new release for several months. But without @housseindjirdeh's help/account/permissions, nothing can be done.

Sad, but what can we do? @housseindjirdeh please don't delay this for too long!

@IzzySoft Finally. I built a new release, v1.7.1.

Thanks! But you forgot to increase versionCode (which is still set to 7 as was v1.5.0 already). Could you please fix and replace, @chinesedfan? Let me know when it's done, as this time I need to fetch the update manually (as the APK with the wrong versionCode is "in the way").

@IzzySoft Because git only contains 6(1.4.1), I increased it to be 7(1.7.1). Do you know how to determine the right next versionCode?

@chinesedfan it must simply be bigger than any one you've used before. You can use it as "release counter", or simply use the current timestamp (I'd not really recommend the latter – but it's just to give you an idea). And it must be integer.

To find out which you've used before, you can run aapt d badging on the other APKs, and grep for versionCode. this is the result for 1.5.0 and 1.7.1:

package: name='com.gitpoint' versionCode='7' versionName='1.5.0' platformBuildVersionName='8.0.0'
package: name='com.gitpoint' versionCode='7' versionName='1.7.1' platformBuildVersionName='8.0.0'

@IzzySoft Updated versionCode to 10. I guessed by the following way. :P

  • 7, 1.5.0
  • 8, 1.6.0
  • 9, 1.7.0
  • 10, 1.7.1

Apologies @IzzySoft, I've been hands off this project for the past few months so I'm sorry about that. @chinesedfan has been leading the project thus far so now I'm making sure he has complete permissions/control over releases and not just me.

@chinesedfan thank you,I wish I kept note of the last versionCode but as long as it's large that's fine. Okay to start and move from 10 onwards :D

Thanks @chinesedfan and @housseindjirdeh! I've just grabbed the APK manually and checked, it looks fine! Triggered a manual update in my repo, so it should show up in a few minutes.

Guess this issue can be closed then. Please keep up attaching the APKs to the tags, and of course increasing versionCode with each new release 😄
