# Discontinued
This app is discontinued. The last release on Github and F-Droid will happen
with the December 2024 Syncthing version. Interactions (issues, PRs) are limited
now, and the entire repo will be archived after the last release. Thus all
contributions are preserved for any future (re)use. The forum is still open for
discussions and questions. I would kindly ask you to refrain from trying to
challenge the decision or asking "why-type" questions - I wont engage with them.
The 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!

# Status: "Maintenance mode" - Co-maintainers welcome
tl;dr: The app is still kept up to date, and contributions are still welcome -
however even reviews for those can take a long time. Co-maintainers are very
welcome - get in touch if you are interested.
No-one is dedicating significant time into development or reviews. It's still
kept up to date with Syncthing, Android and dependencies under the wider
Syncthing project umbrella on a best effort basis. Contributions are reviewed,
however available time for that is scarce so it will take a while. And obviously it
depends both on the size/clarity of the change and (admittedly subjective)
relevance of it - chance of successful and speedier reviews is higher if your
change is targeted and small.
## No feature request taken (feature contributions case-by-case)
Handling feature requests use up the little time that is present to keep the app up-to-date, and there is no feature development happening. So unless you are opening a feature request to discuss your own contribution before jumping into coding, the request will be closed directly with some template answer pointing at this section.
