prep for F-Droid: isolate firebase and mobile_scanner behind seams - #321
prep for F-Droid: isolate firebase and mobile_scanner behind seams#321abdulsaheel wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
firebase_bridge.dart and scan/barcode_reader.dart are now the only files that import firebase_* / mobile_scanner. docs/fdroid/ has floss stand-ins for both plus the build recipe (verified locally: full patch set builds clean, zero google code in the dex). geolocator's gms location dep gets swapped for microg at f-droid build time, no source changes needed. ci: new fdroid job stamps the recipe's version on release and pushes it to a fdroiddata fork once one's configured, no-ops otherwise.
Reviewer's GuideThe PR isolates Firebase and mobile_scanner behind stable Dart seams, supplies dependency-free F-Droid replacements and a documented microG-based build recipe, and adds optional tag-triggered automation to keep fdroiddata metadata current without affecting existing Play Store, GitHub-release, or iOS builds.

**issue (bug_risk):** The F-Droid recipe changes the working subdirectory to `android`, but its patch commands address root-level paths such as `lib/telemetry/firebase_bridge.dart`, `pubspec.yaml`, and `docs/fdroid/...` without `../` prefixes. The recipe therefore fails to copy the FLOSS seams or edit the root pubspec before the build.
**Triggers:** When fdroiddata executes this recipe with `subdir: android`.
**Suggested fix:** Run the root-level patch commands from the repository root, or prefix their paths with `../` after entering the Android subdirectory.

**issue (bug_risk):** The GitLab push option sets `merge_request.target=fdroid/fdroiddata`, but `merge_request.target` is the target branch name, not the target project path. GitLab therefore attempts to create the merge request against a branch literally named `fdroid/fdroiddata` (or rejects the option), so the automated fdroiddata merge request is not opened against the upstream project.
**Triggers:** When `FDROID_GITLAB_TOKEN` and `FDROID_FORK_REPO` are configured and the sync step runs.
**Suggested fix:** Use the upstream project's supported GitLab push option/API for the target project and set `merge_request.target` to the upstream default branch, typically `master` or `main`.
</issue_to_address>Sourcery assessment
Needs a human reviewer. 2 findings to address first, and the release workflow uses a GitLab token to clone and push to an externally configured repository, so a bad repository configuration or branch/recipe operation could create an external merge request or disclose the credential; reverting the workflow would not undo those effects. The Flutter seam changes otherwise leave ordinary runtime bugs that can be fixed by reverting or updating the app.

Flutter analyze default file selection recursively analyzes Dart files in package docs directory analyzer exclude
💡 Result:
When you run the flutter analyze command, it recursively analyzes Dart files within your project directory [1][2][3]. To exclude specific directories (such as a docs directory) or files from this analysis, you must configure the analysis_options.yaml file located at the root of your project [4][5][6]. There is no native --exclude flag for the flutter analyze command-line tool [7]. Consequently, the recommended and standard method for excluding files or directories from static analysis is to use the analyzer: entry in your analysis_options.yaml file [4][6]. To exclude a directory like docs, add it to the exclude section of your analysis_options.yaml file using glob pattern syntax [4][6]: analyzer: exclude: - 'docs/' In this configuration, the glob pattern ensures that all files and subdirectories within the docs directory are ignored by the analyzer [4][8][6]. All paths defined in the exclude list must be relative to the directory containing the analysis_options.yaml file [4][6].

Keep the F-Droid source template out of the default analyzer.
Root-level flutter analyze recursively analyzes this .dart file. The default pubspec.yaml does not declare camera or flutter_zxing, so the imports can fail to resolve. Rename the template to a non-Dart extension or exclude docs/fdroid/** in analysis_options.yaml. Update the F-Droid copy command to use the renamed template.

F-Droid fdroiddata current Flutter metadata recipe srclibs prebuild build flutter pub get
💡 Result:
To build a Flutter application within the F-Droid ecosystem, you must configure the application's metadata file (located in the fdroiddata repository) to handle the Flutter SDK and build process [1][2]. F-Droid recommends using a git submodule for the Flutter SDK, although using it as an srclib remains an option [3][4][2]. Key configurations in the build metadata YAML include: 1. Flutter SDK setup: If using a submodule, set submodules: true in the build configuration [3][4]. If using an srclib, include flutter as a source library (e.g., srclibs: - flutter@stable) and use the

F-Droid Build Metadata Reference Builds commit field full commit hash tag allowed
💡 Result:
In the F-Droid build metadata, the commit field is used to specify the exact point in the source code repository from which to build an application [1]. While the documentation notes that the parameter can accept a "tag, commit or revision number," it explicitly provides the following recommendation: "Note: Don’t use branch name or tag name. The full commit hash should be used" [1][2][3]. Using the full commit hash is the preferred practice for reproducibility, as it ensures the build remains pinned to a specific, immutable state of the repository, whereas tags or branch names can be moved or deleted [1][4]. It is worth noting that some examples in F-Droid documentation and community wiki pages may show tags being used (e.g., v1.2, v1.0, v2.0.2) [1][5]. However, the official Build Metadata Reference standard advises against this in favor of the full commit hash [1][4]. Additionally, when using automated update modes like UpdateCheckMode: HTTP, the generated pattern can result in a tag name being used as the commit value [1][3], but for manual metadata entry or stable, long-term maintenance, the full commit hash is the authoritative requirement [1].
