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!

    My primary phone belongs to my work. I get a stipend every two years that essentially allows me to buy any supported phone I want.

    The conditions are that it’s managed by them via MDM and all my work stuff is on the work profile side.

    It is a choice I make since it allows me to not carry two phones. I did that for the first two years at my company and it was annoying.
