F-Droid flavor

WebToApp ships one source tree for GitHub, Play, and F-Droid. The F-Droid build is a Gradle property, not a long-lived git branch.

./gradlew :app:assembleStandardRelease -Pfdroid=true

Output: app/build/outputs/apk/standard/release/app-standard-release-unsigned.apk. F-Droid signs it. Do not pass -Pfdroid in the same Gradle invocation as a normal release — there is one shell template per invocation.

What the flag does

Piece	-Pfdroid=true
Firebase Cloud Messaging	Omitted. Push still works through the Web Notification polyfill, HTTP polling, and WebSocket.
Google Sign-In (Play Services / Credential Manager)	Omitted. NativeBridge.googleSignIn returns UNAVAILABLE.
AdMob feature stack	The :feature-stacks:admob module is not included. Editor ads UI is hidden. Export writes a disabled ads block.
Play Services FIDO (GeckoView WebAuthn)	Excluded. Other GeckoView paths are unchanged.
Release signing	signingConfig is null so the APK stays unsigned.
Host editor	FCM / Google Sign-In / AdMob entries are hidden. Saved config fields stay in the schema so export no-ops instead of forking JSON.

BuildConfig.FDROID is true in both :app and :shell. Google-typed sources live in app/src/google/java; the F-Droid twins with the same FQCN live in app/src/fdroid/java. Shell sync copies one of those two trees.

CI

The check job compiles this flavor in a second Gradle invocation so the flag cannot contaminate the normal build:

./gradlew -PskipShellTemplateSync=true -Pfdroid=true \
  :app:compileStandardReleaseKotlin \
  :shell:compileReleaseKotlin \
  :app:processStandardReleaseManifest \
  :shell:processReleaseManifest

Store listing copy

Fastlane files live at fastlane/metadata/android/<locale>/. F-Droid reads those from this repository.

The fdroiddata recipe to copy into a fdroiddata merge request is metadata/com.webtoapp.yml at the repo root of this project (path metadata/com.webtoapp.yml). MR title: New app: WebToApp.

Tag the same commit that GitHub Releases use (v2.7.9). F-Droid and GitHub then ship the same version from one tag; F-Droid's signing key is different, so the two APKs cannot update each other.

Do not mix templates

A -Pfdroid=true assemble rebuilds webview_shell.apk without Firebase and copies it into app/src/main/assets/template/. Restore that file from git before a normal GitHub/Play template build, or run :shell:assembleRelease :app:syncShellTemplateApk without -Pfdroid.
