Done! for the curious, original title, "Cirrus App dev pulling app from certified android devices in '26/'27" new, "Cirrus app dev informing the app will stop working on certified android devices in '26/'27"
Yes you're right. I've worded that wrong in the title!
First of all thank you for providing a foss app!
I think it's a big difference if the platform tolerates you or actively wants to stop you from doing it. You got my fullest sympathy.
Well for this case in particular yes, the dev will continue to develop the app on f-droid, the platform as a whole takes a hit through this though, so who knows how long they will continue out of goodwill.
Thank you for these links they are fantastic! I was aware of the procedural lock in via play integrity services and also the lockdown on side loading so that didn't get past me, but I wasn't aware google also wants to alienate developers now by requiring ID. It seems to me google want to now fully commercialize the platform, transforming it into the ad infested network that web2+3.0 already became. I think their plan, by alienating non commercial devs, is that all apps will run on their ad models and non without them will be left.
Hail the Klingons Ohura!
Looks like Phil was carrying this one.
I kinda wish they showed protondb around the 19:50 ish mark instead of just focusing on deck playable
https://www.protondb.com/app/7900 still borked but important to see that even for a nieche game from 2005 thats no longer available on steam an entry exists just showcases the wealth of information on protondb
any version of android that's not vendor or downloaded from the official android website
