Thanks to all for your input. I'll keep grinding along and research the options and suggestions y'all gave. I just wish the Android eco-system (including GooglePlay and FDroid) would make things (publishing) easier for apps and games that don't require <i>any</i> permissions... Am I missing something?
I'm developing apps that require 0 permissions, collect no info, and can be run in Airplane mode yet everywhere I look it seems I have to jump thru hoops to get a simple, innocuous game or app published on any site that has a presence. I guess I'm naive.
Maybe you are naive but I'm glad you're trying.<p>I got rid of my Google account (for all the obvious reasons) and it is hell trying to perform what once were easy tasks, without App Store.<p>PS hey what about sourceforge
