@MishaalRahman @Techmeme > developer whose signing key accounts for over 50% of total known installs holds priority for registration. All other developers will be required to use a different package name.

This would fuck up all the FOSS forks with same pkg name and test builds with public signing keys

@MishaalRahman @Techmeme > Complete a cryptographic challenge: You must sign a dummy APK with the corresponding private key and upload it to Android Developer Console. This formally verifies your ownership of the key used to sign your existing Android app.

@MishaalRahman @Techmeme F-Droid signs APKs itself by default and app devs do not have access to private keys to do such challenges. As per a quick check, of the ~8000 apps on F-Droid, only ~700 are signed by devs themselves via reproducible builds.

[agnostic-apollo @agnosticapollo]

@MishaalRahman While moving AOSP development private was understandable due to huge amounts of extra work required for maintaining it in public, this seems to be a very anti-development behaviour.

[agnostic-apollo @agnosticapollo]

@MishaalRahman Changing the default reference device to a virtual one does not justify not releasing device trees or full kernel commit history of real devices known for development, especially for existing devices and/or after a 30/60days delay for any potential security reasons.

@nahKbayOS @MishaalRahman Running under Termux or in chroot should be same, but should give slightly better performance than linux in KVM, the main advantage/difference of Termux/chroot is that it won't be isolated from Android. Yes, should be able to access Linux terminal from Termux over ssh.

Termux has been approved to receive a grant from the NLnet Foundation (@NLnetFDN) under its NGI Mobifree program for the June 2024 call.

@MishaalRahman 25-30mins to optimize, Pixel 7 Pro, only have 312 apps that came as stock on A13. Optimizations was pretty slow for A13 security updates too.

[agnostic-apollo @agnosticapollo]

@eddiejaoude Yeah, you should. Maybe it will feel like you don't even need BioDrop anymore 😅

[agnostic-apollo @agnosticapollo]

@xPublicProfilex @MishaalRahman It will be empty on production devices, they are meant for development android builds.

The only way to currently fix is to clear app data completely/reinstall, which will require login into accounts again and configuring settings, etc. Otherwise, if you have root access you can clear the cached links table manually, the link in the root tweet has the commands.

[agnostic-apollo @agnosticapollo]

If @Reddit android app (possibly ios too) is consuming hundreds of MBs or few GBs of app data. Check https://t.co/d2QvWvQCUe for why.

[agnostic-apollo @agnosticapollo]

It will also slow down the app significantly with posts not opening up for many seconds due to processing of the links. The devs said that they will look into it in future. Note that support has ended for Android 7 now, so it may never receive a fix.
