Usage reporting should include Google Play as a distribution channel

[bt90]

Android accounts for 15% of our reported platforms:

Google Play is the biggest distribution channel for it, but is completely missing from our stats:

I wonder if the Regex is outdated?

syncthing/cmd/ursrv/serve/serve.go

Line 67 in dcafd6e

{regexp.MustCompile(`android-.*teamcity@build\.syncthing\.net`), "Google Play"},

[bt90]

My app reports builder@github.syncthing.net which would misclassify it as GitHub

[calmh]

Maybe set the build user to something else for the android build and add an entry accordingly.

[bt90]

Either that or also check the GOOS to determine the channel.

builder@github.syncthing.net + android -> Google Play

[acolomb]

But that would be a wrong assumption, no? If one bundles a build from GitHub with the app and distributes it over some other channel, this would be incorrect. I agree that the version extra string is the better way to achieve this.

I was under the impression that the Syncthing library for the wrapper needed some additional treatment, and you can't just bundle our regular arm binary?

[tomasz1986]

It's the regular binary, just compiled for Android. Syncthing proper doesn't offer Android binaries separately though.

[bt90]

Exactly. The chance of a thirdparty simply copy-pasting one of our prebuilt binaries into a wrapper is zero.

• App: Set a custom build user syncthing-android#1978
• Ursrv: cmd/ursrv: Support new android build user #9141

F-Droid is also outdated: vagrant@bullseye

root@buildkitsandbox looks like some kind of Docker environment?
