Announcement by the creator: https://forum.syncthing.net/t/discontinuing-syncthing-android/23002

Unfortunately I don’t have good news on the state of the android app: I am retiring it. The last release on Github and F-Droid will happen with the December 2024 Syncthing version.

Reason is a combination of Google making Play publishing something between hard and impossible and no active maintenance. The app saw no significant development for a long time and without Play releases I do no longer see enough benefit and/or have enough motivation to keep up the ongoing maintenance an app requires even without doing much, if any, changes.

Thanks a lot to everyone who ever contributed to this app!

oof. All I can do is thank you for the hard work that anybody's put into this, and I'm sad to see it go because I've been using this with my keypass for probably about a year now.

Really hoping the Graphene OS lawsuit allows for some Options to open up again!

Can you share what lawsuit you’re referring to? 🙏

Looks like they still haven't launched it yet. They just mentioned they would in this Ars Technica article.

Out of the loop. What is this app for?

Well that's a shame. I'm sort of half-assedly using syncthing to backup my photos from my phone to my server, but mostly I rely on immich. I never really got the hang of using syncthing with my phone.

Oh boy, just wanted to get into it. Damn sad, not of course understandable, the developers are only humans as well

The way i understand it, this stops maintenance for Syncthing, but Syncthing-fork in fdroid will continue its development and support as usual. Both show if you do a Syncthing search in fdroid. The fork is more up to date with features.
