APK issues

[IzzySoft]

There are a few issues with the FOSS APKs attached to your releases:

• release is tagged 1.2.5 and not the first one, yet the APK announces itself as versionCode='1' versionName='0.0.1'. versionCode must be increased with each release (as that's what Android uses internally to tell versions apart) – so as this is not the first release, the integer assigned there should be higher. And versionName should match what the tag claims it to be, here: 1.2.5
• the APK requests several permissions not outlined in the description. E.g. it requests INTERNET though the description says "offline", it declares android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO but the description does not mention audio recording (it suggests its a note-taking app), it requests android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED and android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE though there's no hint on why those should be needed. The screenshots give no clue either. Could you please clarify?
• there's no icon in the fastlane tree – so the app will turn up without any at F-Droid (XML icons cannot be extracted there). You might wish to add one 😉
• your short description in fastlane has a spelling error in its name, so it won't be pulled. Don't shoot the messenger please, it was you who named it shot_description.txt and missing the r 🙈

I've just added your app to the IzzyOnDroid repo (it will show up here with the next sync around 6 pm UTC), and included an icon manually (taken from your Readme) as well as copied the "shot" description giving it the correct name – so be welcome to pick a badge to link there from your Readme. It would be nice to have above issues solved with the next release, though, so I can also enable automated updates here and your listing at F-Droid.org will work out, too 😉

For a "sneak preview":

Remove what?

The Internet permission

Ah, thanks! Any plans for the other points listed above?

Ah, I see you have the versioning fixed – great! So I've just enabled updates (the latest release should show up with the next sync around 6 pm UTC then). RECORD_AUDIO now is also explained in the readme (audio notes). Now I only miss the IzzyOnDroid badge in your Readme, as your app is listed there for over a month already 😉 With that added, I guess this issue can be closed then.
