twitter-kit can be used, but need to check if it can be used without Fabric

yshrsmz commented

looks like Twitter-Kit is not able to be initialized without Fabric.
So if We want to upload to F-Droid, We need to migrate to another Twitter library :(

yshrsmz commented

migrate to Twitter4J?

If you could at least attach the .apk to the /releases (for the current one and future ones), I could add it to my F-Droid compatible repo. New versions would then be available there within 24h of your attaching them to a new tag/release. The repo can be used with the F-Droid client easily.

@IzzySoft Thanks for your suggestion!
But to do so, at least we need to remove all non-OSS dependencies, right?(I'm not entirely sure about F-Droid though)

IzzySoft commented

For the "official repo" yes. For my repo it's preferable, but I'd accept it as it is currently. There are already some apps in I recently discovered that they use Firebase (or Google Analytics or even Flurry). I might go marking them as having unfree dependencies (and/or "Tracking you" e.g. for some Analytics modules like Flurry), though. If you browse my repo (using a web browser) you will notice I list the "ingredients" (read: libraries used) for each app, and leave the decision to the user. If something demands a "special mark", I set that (Ads etc.) so it also shows in the Android client. If I see something being a "big violation", I won't accept it (or throw it out if found later), as recently with a dialer "backported from Android N" which had the Umeng (Chinese Flurry) added, but such cases occur rarely. I see my repo as a compromise complementing the official one for apps otherwise not available outside of proprietary stores, so rules are less strict (but not non-existent; details here).

TL;DR: As soon as you add the .apk to releases/ I'd add it to my repo. If you remove non-OSS dependencies, that'd be a big plus and much appreciated, but not a prerequisite.

@IzzySoft thanks for the explanation. That seems really nice to me. will let you know when I add apk to release page(won't take so long, I think)

@IzzySoft Sorry for being late.
I've just added an apk file to the latest public release.
