Bluewallet: Release on F-Droid (0.1 btc bounty)

[aunyks]

Since the wallet is open source and available on Android, I think it'd great for the open source community if it could be released on F-Droid. Steps to do so can be found here.

[Overtorment]

This is a very good idea, thanks for the suggestion! I was thinking about
other platforms except ios & andr, since I hate their monopoly, but there
isn't much alternative. This F-Droid is at least something.

Please do, GAPPS dependant wallets are gross, a trend we should avoid.

[tarbib]

Hello is this idea still alive? It would be really great for users without Google play services. Thanks !

[pointbiz]

As a community I think we need to be prepared for ALL Bitcoin wallets to be banned from the Google Play store. Perhaps at the request of government(s).

There's only 2 Bitcoin wallets on F-Droid but Bluewallet is the current best mobile wallet to recommend to others. It's part of the “freedom stack”.

I pledge 0.1 BTC as a bounty for this issue to be completed.

Do you guys want to release it on the official repo or on your own repo? Because @aunyks links to the instructions of how to create an own repo.

Since latest release the app now includes google services https://github.com/BlueWallet/BlueWallet/commit/545c8891f6840fbb85e8f0804213cc8a76ef88ed (for push notifications).
Google services are not allowed in the official F-Droid repo. For the F-Droid build this commit could be patched out.
But the nicer way would be to add a separate build flavor for F-Droid.

[marcosrdz]

We use React Native. That flavor would need to parse through all our dependencies and remove any references to that.

v5.5.1 builds, but:

• What's up with Hermes? https://github.com/BlueWallet/BlueWallet/issues/1205#issuecomment-662506512
• We need a gradle flavor that excludes InstallReferrer stuff (eg. create some stubs functions instead like https://github.com/iNPUTmice/Conversations/blob/master/src/conversationsFree/java/eu/siacs/conversations/utils/InstallReferrerUtils.java )
• Same for the (not yet tagged) v5.5.2 and Push functionality

F-Droid metadata so far _(which pulls the Google libs else it will fail since InstallReferrer needs them)_:

I prefer if it's on the official F-Droid repo. I consider that a badge of honor.

[Overtorment]

ok how do I help? Im totally not familiar with f-droid

[licaon-kter]

@Overtorment read my post above.... Push and Referrer need to be excluded in a flavor.

[Overtorment]

I suppose I could maintain a branch without push notifications, that's the easy part.

but We need a gradle flavor that excludes InstallReferrer stuff <-- that I do not understand

[licaon-kter]

@Overtorment InstallReferrer is a non-FOSS lib, in that branch without push do exclude this too.

See installreferrer being in node_modules/react-native-device-info/android/build.gradle
