#Google funds this #EU think tank to put out policy papers saying #DigitalMarketsAct will break their lovely #PlayProtect scare screens, making us all less safe and "it require[s] Google to allow developers to insert links inside their Play Store apps".

As I've always said in relation to the #DMA, let @fdroidorg compete on trustworthiness. I'd love to see this think thank include analysis malware rates of #CalyxOS with #FDroid and compare that to #GooglePlay #security

I have been quite happy with /e/os on my #fairphone #FP3 the last few years - but it is beginning to deteriorate lately, with more and more apps not being able to run. #mobilepay for one, but now also #garmin #navionics #boating - since last update it will not show my location, it keeps asking for permission - which it already have. I can downgrade for now, but it is not really a viable solution I believe. So what to do? I really dislike the idea of having to install #googleplay services :(

I believe we really need an alternative #mobile os. A truely google free android would be fine with me for now, while a more navtive #linux becomes feasible and commercial/public app providers realizes that there is a need for #flatpak releases.

Meanwhile, could #e_os (#microG) be fixed somehow?

UPDATE: downgrading to version 2.22 of garmin boating fixed the issue for now.

Lost almost an hour fiddling with the #homeassistant companion #app settings trying to make the #location work (my location is always "unknown"). At the end I found, hidden in a forum answer ( https://community.home-assistant.io/t/device-tracker-and-geocoded-location-unknown/230569/18?u=penguin86 ) that is a limitation of the home assistant app published on #fdroid .
WTF why is the F-droid version more limited than the one on #googleplay ? The position funcionality shouldn't depend on google services or proprietary code, I made a couple of completely open source apps that requires location services and both work perfectly... Anyone can explain?
Home Assistant Community · Device_tracker and geocoded location 'Unknown'I was having the same issue on my Android phone and nothing on this topic helped me. Turns out the F-Droid release lacks several features like location tracking and Wear OS integration (hence the “minimal” on the version number). So I had to install the Google Play Store version for everything to work properly.

#Catima 2.34.5 is out!

This is a maintenance release that targets Android 15 and fixes a crash.

The app will look slightly uglier on some devices, due to Google's changes in how drawing over the system and navigation bar works. Sadly, supporting proper edge-to-edge requires extensive rewrites (help very welcome!), so I opted to at least ensure we target Android 15 before any deadlines.

Coming soon to an app store near you.

OMFG. OMFG.... You can't make this shit up even if you tried.

Imagine you are an app developer with a functioning backend. That backend has users and those user's are grouped together in something called a "company".

So you make two test users within a "test" company, so that the app reviewers of Apple and Google can test your app. Those users are respectively called "apple@domain.tld" and "google@domain.tld".

This morning I got an email from Apple that said;

"Guideline 2.1 - Information Needed

We were unable to sign in with the following demo account credentials you provided in App Store Connect:"

Turns out, that the app reviewer of Google removed the test user used by Apple...... 🤦‍♂️
