Nextcloud-deck: No build updates on F-Droid

[dupondje]

Nice to see there have been many improvements on the app the latest weeks.
But the updated releases are not pushed to F-Droid.

Can this be checked? Or eventually build APK here?

[desperateCoder]

Hi @dupondje, this is funny, since we are also waiting for F-Droid to recognize our releases...

We actually have no clue whats wrong currently, and i have no idea what to do about that. Maybe @stefan-niedermann could dig into this, but afaik he es as clueless as i am.

Here is the current master (22.09.2019, about 14:00).
ATTENTION:
Github won't let me upload APKs here, so i renamed it to zip. please rename it back to .apk to install it on your phone.
app-debug.zip

EDIT:
In some cases my phone won't install the APK ("App not installed."), just uninstall the current version first, then install the new one, works for me.

If you manage to update without uninstalling, but you have issues with the data displayed, try to uninstall it and install it again, in some cases the already available data isn't compatible.

Hope you enjoy our app! :grin:

And in addition to the improvements the latest weeks: We went to the Nextcloud conference and Hackweek last week, so special thanks to our friends from Nextcloud (especially @juliushaertl, @tobiasKaminsky and the Nextcloud CEO Frank) who support the whole community with events like these.

Seems to build fine on F-Droid, but then it's stuck somewhere:

Publishing is done manually by members of the f-droid team which takes an undefined amount of time, you'd have to ping folks like @Bubu to take a look

[stefan-niedermann]

@Bubu i thought this would be done automatically when the build was successful. Shall we ping you every time we do a release?

[Bubu]

AFAIK there just wasn't an index update since the app got built? But I justarrived back from vacation, so I'm not sure...

[stefan-niedermann]

0.0.8 is available on F-Droid, so i guess this issue is solved :)

Thanks for @Bubu if there was more to do except being patient and waiting for an index update <3

I'm afraid, this issue is not solved. We are again two releases behind

[stefan-niedermann]

Well, F-Droid does not fetch every release. They update their index periodically only all few days. So if we are doing multiple releases within one day, F-Droid will update their index only some days later and publish the latest version.

@Bubu maybe you can tell us if this assumption is correct or if we need to open an issue in the fdroiddata-repo on gitlab?

[Bubu]

This is correct, AFAIK.

[nr458h]

ok, thanks for the explanation ;)

[nr458h]

As I m waiting patiently for the dark theme - version to hit the f-droid store. I just want to inform you, that version 0.0.10 is still not available. Sorry for the annoying pinning of this topic ☺️

[stefan-niedermann]

Seems like F-Droid data already fetched version 10: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/blob/master/metadata/it.niedermann.nextcloud.deck.yml

CurrentVersion: 0.0.10
CurrentVersionCode: 10

The tag has been created 15 days ago, this seems indeed be way too long for an index update.

@Bubu maybe you could have another look? Let me know how i can help you.

Tag was detected and build block added, but build fails. I'm neither Android dev nor do I have build experience, so that's all I can do: pointing to that log…

[stefan-niedermann]

That's the info that was missing! Thank you. I guess we have to add

android {
      lintOptions {
          checkReleaseBuilds false
          // Or, if you prefer, you can continue to check for errors in release builds,
          // but continue the build even when errors are found:
          abortOnError false
      }
  }

to the build.gradle-file. I remember that i had to do that with the notes app, too but i am wonderung how any previous version could land in F-Droid :D

I am currently not on PC, maybe @desperateCoder can fix this quickly or i will try to fix it tomorrow.

Thanks @IzzySoft !

[stefan-niedermann]

I think the next tagged version will not abort the build now anymore when translations are missing.

I will keep an eye on the F-Droid build an reopen in case i missed something.

[IzzySoft]

Glad I could help! Always a good idea to take a look at the build logs :wink: Just bookmark that link :rofl:

[stefan-niedermann]

Yes, we are aware that 0.0.13 is not available on F-Droid yet. :laughing: Thanks to Izzys link we know why and will provide an update as soon as we can. :)
