Today is a very sad day. Apparently, cake wallet has made the asenine decision to abandon their fdroid repository for this other app store called accrescent Which is a centralized store very focused on security but has a central point of failure and can pull apps at any time they wish for any reason or no reason at all or succumb to government take down requests.
Edit: A direct quote from a chat from tux on the cake wallet team.
“Maybe I didn’t make it clear enough the reason we abandoned it was because it stopped letting us update. It broke, and we haven’t been able to fix it and don’t care enough too”
Edit 2: Some more color was given on the issue in today’s Monerotopia episode and apparently it has something to do with a flutter update that could not be avoided but caused breaking issues. I will say that I hope they can re-establish the repository in the future.
They had their own repository, but yes, I agree. Just shutting down a distribution method, because they didn’t care enough to try to fix it, is bullshit. Monerujo It is nice, but it’s not as good with accessibility, which is unfortunate for screen reader users, mysu Is not far enough along to be ready as a replacement for daily use, and stack duo has a shitcoin called bitcoin and bitcoin frost. Really, how hard is it to just get a Unix principle Monero wallet?
