Release source and F-Droid

[rugk]

It would be great to see this Android app on F-Droid!

F-Droid is an Android app store specifically for free/libre open-source apps. It would be great if your app could be released there, as it is the number one for getting FLOSS Android apps for many people.
F-Droid also builds all apps from source (optionally even reproducible), so downloads from there can be trusted.

Of course this would require you to open-source the app. But imho that would be a good thing actually, and for a free app I see no disadvantages. And you could feature the app and this the brand on the store too, as explained below.
At least one app could be there to hint to the other apps.

The app developer FAQ or the quick start guide may help you to get started.

BTW a release on F-Droid could also bring some (more) popularity (in case that is intended), as it will show up in the app (new apps are featured there).

Why is this closed source in the first place? I wasn't able to find any alternatives and this is very useful for pentesting embedded devices with Bluetooth, but because it's closed source I don't want to use it. It's strange because almost everything else nRF makes for testing like this is open source

Even the nRF Connect desktop app, which is essentially the same thing for a different platform, is open source

Why don't you want to use it with closed source? Perhaps I can help you get your answers without releasing the source code?
I have to be honest, this app was mostly written aroudn 2013-2015 and the source is complex. If follows architecture patterns from a decade ago. I am more than happy to answers any of your questions, but I daubt the source code would help in any way.

(also a reply to your response in #1) It's mostly just because of my personal preference so I can easily modify apps I install and update them after EOL, also I was just curious. Thanks for being okay with answering questions about it, I'll definitely ask if I have anything specific but for now it works for my needs
