حذفت برنامج Pillars لأنهم اضافوا تتبُع منذ نسخة Report for com.pillars.pillars 2.2.25 - εxodus و ليس مفتوح المصدر. (حفته من قسم أندرويد و IOS لأنهم يزعموا الخصوصية لكن كذبوا و ايضًا وعدوا أن التطبيق سيكون مفتوح المصدر منذ سنين و لكن لم يفعلوا).
حذفت تطبيق قرآن Report for com.quran.labs.androidquran 3.4.4 - εxodus للأسف لأنهم اضافه تتبُع أخر على الرغم مِن أن التطبيق مفتوح المصدر. (أندرويد، من الصعب التحقق على IOS) ارجو أن تتواصلوا مع المطور للإضافة نسخة دون تتبُع على F-Droid هنا.
Firebase Crashlytics is not hard to toggle on/off - this isn’t a big issue to do. The bigger problem here is that the app has some code (mostly resource files) that come from a separate (private) repo. This is likely against the terms of F-Droid. Building without this (optional) repo means the version in F-droid would only have 2 reciters, no extra page types, etc. If this restriction of building without this library is ok, I can make Firebase Crashlytics optional.
التطبيق ايضا ليس مفتوح المصدر لاسباب ماليه / لمنع نسخ التطبيق.
yes, I am the maintainer of the private repo. It used to be part of this repo.
The problem isn’t just a personally annoying aspect of “adding ads and making money”, there are other problems:
given that this is a religious app, there’s an aspect of respect Muslims have towards the Quran, and it’s disrespectful to add ads surrounding these words, especially when they’re things violating the text as in many cases is the case.
these resources are large mp3 files that live on servers the team pays for. people who re-share this are using our resources (servers and bandwidth) and costing us money in addition to making themselves money.
people keep our support email address in the built app, so we get confusing bug reports, people cursing us out for being disrespectful (because they’re using an app they think is ours but isn’t), and so on.
I had 2 choices - completely close the source moving forward (that’s what happened with the iOS app, for example), or keep things open but close out the resources to discourage people from inflicting this harm. hence I went with the second approach - the app you can build here is 100% functional, it just limits the set of available (out of the box) recitations to 3 recitations and the available page types to 1 page type if I only compile with the open source code.
السلام عليكم،
بعد إذنك كان عندي سؤال. كيف نحدد ما الأذونات غير الضرورية بل المساهمة ي التنصت وبين الأذونات الضرورية لفعالية تطبيق أذان يعتمد كثيرا على الموقع والتوقيت الخ؟
