---

Hello, this is my first time submitting.

This app is a revival of PalmCalc, which was archived due to using an old signing key.

I mostly just want to see this useful app back on the store with a secure signing key, but I'll add features when I can.

• fdroid readmeta -W warn passes
• fdroid lint -W warn passes
• fdroid rewritemeta -W warn has been run
• fdroid checkupdates -W warn has been run and committed

the -W flag is needed to get past metadata issues from others, see below

Gradle definition

the fdroid command calls the global gradle command instead of the project-local wrapper.

Not sure if this is by design. Normal practice (AFAIK) is to call the bundled gradle wrapper with ./gradlew, which downloads the right version.

I had to add my own downloaded copy of the right Gradle version to PATH to get past this.

Metadata Issue from Others

Running fdroid lint com.github.palmcalc2019.palmcalc produces:

'bc1qu482c0tngkcvx3q7mrm8zmuldrh2f2lrh26ym0' is not a valid Bitcoin address in org.projectmaxs.main

this isn't caused by my metadata add.

I suppressed this with -W warn, as mentioned above.

Unknown Issue with Build

fdroid build -w -l -W warn produced the following error:

TypeError: add() got an unexpected keyword argument 'exclude'

The app builds fine in my local dev environment.

I'm using fdroidserver 1.0.9 from mac homebrew, and I see the master repo version is closer to 1.2.0, so maybe the problem is an old version.

I did follow your guide to set up a python virtual environment, and ran that version of fdroid,

but it produced another Gradle path error, this time seemingly python-specific - that I didn't know how to fix:

OSError while trying to execute /Users/adamh/src/fdroidserver-env/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gradlew-fdroid clean: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/adamh/src/fdroidserver-env/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gradlew-fdroid': '/Users/adamh/src/fdroidserver-env/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gradlew-fdroid

I have no experience or interest in setting up a Docker environment to try that version, so I'm deferring to you the experts.

Hopefully you can tell me what I'm wrong, because I have another app I'd like to submit after this one.

I recommend creating a "medium difficulty" app-submission procedure for people who are happy filling out a YAML form, but not happy getting into the nitty-gritty of building a dev copy of fdroidserver.

Apologies if any of this seems rude or presumptuous. I imagine that you are all volunteers, like me. So thanks for your time & effort, building & maintaining an amazing app store.
