I used to get Proton Mail from the IzzyOnDroid Fdroid repo. But now it's not in his repo anymore. Afaik this was mirroring the github release of Proton Mail at Proton's Github account
Why is Izzy not hosting the apk anymore?? Is there another F-Droid repo that is mirroring this?
And no don't tell me to use Obtanium, i don't wanna use yet another app updater.
Also I want to say that Proton's absolute refusal to put their apps on a non-Google platform despite their non-stop blog posts of how evil Google is, is downright HILARIOUS at this point 😂🤣
It's probably because Proton changed the repo.
I was grabbing their release via Obtainium and noticed the version I had was way older than the version on the Play Store.
Had to update my Obtainium entry for ProtonMail to the new repo:
https://github.com/ProtonMail/android-mail
You probably need to make a request to Izzy. From what I remember he has requirements, such as max app size, which makes me wonder if maybe the ProtonMail app just became too big for him to build and host.
yeah they are. but i dont know if those were actually pushed to be in fdroid by proton themselves.
but it doesnt matter really. Mail is by far their flagship product and they refuse to direct people to anyone but people, and maybe github if you find the right page, which someone did link, but obviously is extremely inconvenient.
also proton refuse to release a build that isn't injected with google depedencies. ew.
I have been wondering this too. I am planning to move and am not sure how to get it working with K9 or if they will have their own official app. Perhaps I will decide to just not have email on my phone.
On a similar note, does Proton's Calendar support the fossify and gnome ones?
That's a no on Proton calendar working with third party clients. The encryption makes secure syncing difficult, either decrypt it before transit and have it be insecurely sent, or share the decryption key with the third party app so that it can decrypt the data once it is received, which has its own concerns.
