I get it. Pomme bad. But why does this even need to be an "app"? Is it just a wrapper for a website?
Because people are stupid. We had a new client whose employees were asking for an app to access their payroll. I told the manager we didn't have one but our website was optimized for mobile. Also told her I can show them how to put a shortcut on their home screen.
"They're just not going to be able to handle that. If they can't download from the app store they're helpless."
"But they'll have an icon to click, just like an app."
She just shook her head. I ended up wrapping the site in an app and putting it in the Play Store.
Offices really played a part in killing tech literacy. it departments should've never fixed bkau problems
Here's the app's page on Google Play.
Features: • Anonymous Recording – No account, no personal details required. • Secure Uploads – Encrypted transfer to privacy-focused storage. • Map-Based Sharing – Videos appear where they happened, for public awareness. • Offline Support – Record even without internet; upload when connected. • Metadata Control – Strips identifying data before publishing.
Seems like more than just a website wrapper.

No shit, Big Tech is going to kowtow to whoever is in charge.
Remove Apple's restrictions from the equation and just make it a PWA. This isn't the sort of app that needs to run natively on your device, anyway.

I’m growing very annoyed with Apple lately. Giving Trump a solid gold brick was bad enough. I knew it would get worse with all those Trump dinners Tim Cook has been attending.
Between Apple Google AWS and Microsoft the amount of control by US tech is terrifying.
This year I’ve started divesting but politically I think I need to accelerate.
I’ve been a user of the Mac for 20 years, this year I moved to a Linux desktop. Now I need to look into Linux phone and laptops soon.
