ship alphas to f-droid / app store

Hi,

I see the Android client is making huge progress. My particular pet peeve is the lack of tag support in the 1.x versions, which seems to have improved in the first alpha already... Is there a way to get a version distributed on f-droid and/or the app store? In f-droid at least, there is a way to mark a version as "beta" so that people don't upgrade by default.

Now, i know I could install the packages straight from the release pages on GitHub, but the signature seemed different the last time I checked. This may be because F-Droid rebuilds the APKs and resigns them with its own signatures... I am not sure how to fixed this, so I asked the F-Droid people to clarify that part:

https://forum.f-droid.org/t/are-reproducible-builds-possible-now/335

Still - I can't wait to get tag support and it would be great to be able to test that easily.

Thanks!

The issue names no files or tests; start by reviewing the Android release pages and the linked F-Droid discussion about signatures and reproducible builds. Done would require a decided process for distributing alpha builds through F-Droid and/or the app store, including how signing is handled.
