  1. Progress update! We've been hard at work tackling Accrescent's most pressing development needs, and now we want to share what we've been working on.

    We'll post blog posts in the next few weeks detailing our security, stability, and feature progress along with what's next!

    We know it's been a long time since our last progress update, so to keep you more in the loop, we're switching to more frequent, smaller posts from now on.

    We're getting ever closer to opening up app submissions to everyone. Thank you all for your support and patience!

  2. I didn't forget to update the Accrescent release this time, so you can get it from there as well!

  3. @stonebear2 apologies unsure if this solution would ever meet your needs, but the #Accrescent app store has a #Signal client called #Molly, the use of which, I think, which averts your problem? Sorry it's a convoluted solution. Hopefully a better one will turn up for you.

  4. Mir gehen langsam die (umsetzbaren) Ideen aus.

    Es laufen hier #QubesOS, #GrapheneOS, #OpenWRT, #Proxmox, #Yunohost

    Der E-Book-Reader ist von #PocketBook.

    Apps kommen per #Accrescent und #Obtainium.

    Die wenigen Smart-Home-Devices haben #Tasmota.

    Gebootet wird per #Coreboot.

    Eingeloggt wird per HW Fido2 Provider, #KeePassDX, passage und (mangels Alternative) #Yubikey.

  5. Ich war heute mit meiner Frau etwas wandern. zwei Dörfer weiter und ja, es waren neue Wege. "Guck doch mal auf die Maps, wo es lang geht..." Mist, Googlemaps hab ich auf dem #grapheneos doch nicht mehr. Ich hatte mir mal #Organicmaps aus dem #accrescent store installiert.
    Was soll ich sagen. Ein perfekter Ersatz. Navigiert uns über alle Wald und Wiesenwege. Der "blaue Pfeil" reagiert schnell, zoomen und suchen läuft, flüssig und passt. Ich bin begeistert. Empfehlung! 👍

  6. I don't even know what to think about #keepandroidopen:

    The website doesn't have a word about #grapheneos, #obtainium, or #accrescent yet lists every possible insecure device and rom, and presents #fdroid (with well-known serious security issues of its own) as if it were the only option for installing apps?

    Either the people behind the website are woefully unqualified to make recommendations or they have an agenda not much more in the interest of users than Google's.

  7. Hallo an Alle #neuhier,
    ich bin auch noch nicht lange dabei mit meinem Pixel 7a und #grapheneos.
    Aber ich hab folgende Erfahrungen.
    Zuerst immer Apps aus dem #fdroid Store mit #droid-ify und #accrescent store verwenden. 2. Wahl ist #aurora Store.
    #nextcloud, #davx5, #forkclient statt Telegram, #sunup als #pushclient, Passwortmanager #keepassdx, Galerie #aves, Kontakte #fossifycontacts und Kalender #etar, zum Austausch zwischen Profilen #interprofilesharing
    Das geht bei mir gut! Viel Erfolg!

  8. Firefox for Android looks great now that the UI has been migrated to Material 3.

    Also, the secret settings menu now has toggles for isolated content proccesses (at least in IronFox), meaning that the browser should offer proper site isolation when they are enabled.

    Btw, both IronFox and Fennec are fully functional even without Google Play Services, including FIDO2 and UnifiedPush support.
    If you need push notifications, you can use Sunup to connect to Mozilla's push server and use it as a UnifiedPush distributor for both Firefox forks and other compatible apps.
    Both IronFox and Sunup are available in Accrescent and some F-Droid repos.

  14. RE: infosec.exchange/@accrescent/1

    The servers were deployed a few weeks ago. However, our next app update had unexpected bugs, delaying its release.

    As a result, updates for all apps have been delayed since. We apologize for the delay and hope to resolve it by the end of the week. Thank you for your patience!

  15. :loading: Accrescent

    Ein neuartiger Android-App-Store, für Sicherheit, Privatsphäre und Benutzerfreundlichkeit.

    Derzeit in Alpha.

    Hat jemand schon Erfahrung damit?

    :schenklradio: #Accrescent ist ein privater und sicherer Android App Store gebaut mit modernen Funktionen im Auge. Es zielt darauf ab, eine Entwicklerfreundliche Plattform und angenehme Benutzererfahrung bei gleichzeitiger Durchsetzung moderner Sicherheits- und Datenschutzpraktiken und bietet robuste Gültigkeitsgarantien für installierte Apps.

  16. Another day of Accrescent, another AOSP bug report: issuetracker.google.com/issues

    You might say, "Why are you making file names more than 255 characters long? Do you really need to do that?"

    No, no I don't. But someone had to try.

    For those curious, I actually came across this because Accrescent was using APK URLs as its APK names to uniquely identify them. Those URLs obviously aren't valid file names, so an exception is thrown (for no clear reason). I "fixed" it locally by hex-encoding the URLs since I suspected it had to do with URLs not being valid paths. That worked locally, but failed in our testing environment which has longer APK URLs. The final fix was to hash the APK URL to ensure the APK name is a constant length and thus always a valid file name. At that point, I figured I should file a bug report.

  17. Development on our roadmap is progressing smoothly. Our next app and server releases are undergoing final testing before deployment.

    We hope to make an announcement soon about what Android's recently announced developer verification requirements mean for Accrescent. Stay tuned!

  18. @Pterry
    Ich habe auch #Qlango ausprobiert, weil es im #Accrescent-Store enthalten ist, der bei #GrapheneOS mit ausgeliefert wird.
    Ist leider auch ziemlich neugierig und teilt gerne mit Partnerunternehmen - auch schon beim Login-Screen.

  19. BTW, in addition to F-Droid and IzzyOnDroid, I plan to publish my apps on Accrescent soon: Sunup, NextPush, maybe the other UnifiedPush apps, HW Fido2 Provider, and SaverTuner

    #FDroid #IzzyOnDroid #Accrescent

  20. Google's Pläne Sideloading von Apps schwieriger zu machen könnte zum Aussterben von Appstores wie F-Droid und Accrescent führen da sehr wahrscheinlich alle existierenden Apps nicht mehr installierbar sein werden und der Arbeitsaufwand alle Apps und Versionen neu zu verifizieren unrealistisch ist.

    MMn. wäre das dann ein DMA-Verstoß...

  21. @constancies @alice Have you tried using #Molly (hardened #Signal client clone) from the #Accrescent app store instead?
    I have no issues with an older Pixel, and also never experienced battery drain (commonly reported for the original app).

  22. Since we published our blog post on the future of Accrescent, donations have increased dramatically.

    According to the rates in that post, we should now be able to fund full-time development through at least May 2026!

    Thank you to our community for your monumental support!

    Because of you, we can dedicate ourselves fully to our mission of building a modern Android app store focused on security, privacy, and usability.
