Google Play Services make 0.18.3 incompatible with F-Droid

[relan]

Found in version: 0.18.3

Current behavior: build.gradle includes com.google.gms:google-services.

Expected behavior: no proprietary bits.

Step to reproduce: n/a.

F-Droid requires apps in its main repo to be 100% free (libre) software. Google Play Services libraries are proprietary.

If I understand correctly, you want to add crash reporting. I can recommend ACRA for that (F-Droid client uses it). It's free software and you can configure it to open an email client with the crash log when a crash happens, thus avoiding the Internet permission in your app.

Hi @relan ,

Thanks for letting me know. For now I will just remove the Google play services. I'll see later for ACRA.
Best regards,

Thanks! F-Droid will pick up 0.18.4 automatically.
