Inability to download in regions without Google Play access #1706

@appr0ve

Description

@appr0ve

For now, the only method for obtaining an app is to download it from Google Play.

This creates a problems:

  1. Need to use the official Google Play application, a proxy is required. In my region (and likely others), Google Play services are blocked.

  2. On LineageOS (which cannot include Google Play for legal reasons), the common workaround is Aurora Store. However, Aurora Store already breaches Google's Terms of Service by connecting to Google servers, and a proxy is required for that connection.

This means there is no straightforward, legal way to download the application for users in these regions.

To ensure app accessibility for all users, please consider publishing the APK file in the Releases section of this repository, or even better publish your application to the popular libre platform F-Droid, which provides worldwide mirrors.

Github is unavailable in some regions due sanctions.
