Announcement by the creator: https://forum.syncthing.net/t/discontinuing-syncthing-android/23002
Unfortunately I don’t have good news on the state of the android app: I am retiring it. The last release on Github and F-Droid will happen with the December 2024 Syncthing version.
Reason is a combination of Google making Play publishing something between hard and impossible and no active maintenance. The app saw no significant development for a long time and without Play releases I do no longer see enough benefit and/or have enough motivation to keep up the ongoing maintenance an app requires even without doing much, if any, changes.
Thanks a lot to everyone who ever contributed to this app!
In all honesty, I had no idea about the fork. I really appreciate the information. Time to take it for a spin. Do you know if I can import the settings from the original one on the fork?
Yes you can. I just did it without any issues.
Sweet. Thanks.
Edit: It’s not working for me on GrapheneOS Android 15 Beta. Can’t start anything because of how it’s displaying.
Never used GrapheneOS. Did it export and import okay? Looks like not.
Oh, that’s the thing. Since the menu and settings are showing so high up, they are no accepting the touch commands. I exported from the original app, but the fork just won’t work. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. I’ll stay in the original Syncthing for now and try again once it stops getting maintained. Thanks anyways for all the info.
That’s a bugger! Maybe report it as an issue on their github so you can track when it’s fixed?
Yeah, I’ll take some time to do that over the weekend. Thanks. Love the handle by the way. Grandpa 😁
