    here is how to pause updates of Syncthing-Fork from F-Droid until the situation becomes clearer

    based on code reviews done by people in the Syncthing forum, any version up to the one currently available on F-Droid is probably fine. however, nobody really knows the person in control of the repo, so you probably want to disable updates for now.

    to do that:

    1. open the Syncthing-Fork listing in F-Droid

    2. open the menu in the upper right

    3. make sure "ignore all updates" is checked

    posting this separately because the thread I started about it yesterday is becoming a hellthread

    the #Syncthing Android drama is exploding.

    github.com/researchxxl/syncthi

    @fdroidorg at this point is being used to push out an app with sensitive permissions that's been taken over by an unknown individual who refuses to engage with its large community of users and developers.

    I STRONGLY recommend disabling updates from Fdroid, if not uninstalling and manually installing 2.0.11.2, or installing the Google Play version which has a different maintainer.

    this is extremely shady and it's just looking worse as time goes on. I'll link to the Syncthing forum thread from about where I left off last time in a subsequent post.

    The #syncthing for Android repo that was maintained by Catfriend1 was abandoned. It seems like a messy handover to a new GitHub account called researchxxl took place:
    github.com/researchxxl/syncthi

    There is also a fork of Catfriend1s repo by nel0x, who is apparently known to the community:
    github.com/nel0x/syncthing-and

    More details in the syncthing forum:
    forum.syncthing.net/t/does-any

    It might be a good idea to disable automatic updates for now. Also both repos dont seem to be too active at the moment, so there is a real chance noone will keep developing and maintaining. But only time will tell.

    @lufertec Syncthing should work if is installed and configured for local only discovery on all of the devices so when they connect to the same network (might work with the hotspot from your device) files could be synced between them. Another app which cames to my mind is localsend.org/ it is not for file synchronization but for sending files from one device to another on the same network. I did not use this setup with a mobile hotspot. Both of these tools can work in a peer to peer way without any cerntral server. #syncthing #SyncThingAndroid #localsend

    SyncThing for Android will be discontinued in December 2024 due to issues with Google Play.

    I was not aware of this saga before seeing SyncThing trending and looking to see why. Moreover, I know very little about Android app development. If someone is more knowledgeable, feel free to correct me.
    Apparently Google was denying updates, so the developer unlisted it from the Google Play Store but continued distributing it through F-Droid and GitHub. There does not seem to be any explanation as to why it was denied other than relating to access to device storage.
    According to the developer, Google was unwilling to change it's decision, and did not provide any actionable information. That, combined with other changes in the Google Play Store like developer identity verification [1], was too much work for the developer, so they decided to stop working on the project.
