Announcement by the creator: https://forum.syncthing.net/t/discontinuing-syncthing-android/23002

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!

This is going ro leave a shit-ton of people dead in the water.

The app is not going to suddenly stop working, and it's unlikely to do so before a replacement appears.

Oh, yeah, he did mention there's another update for December. But it's still an issue for many people. Moving to privacy is convoluted enough, it's even rougher when you have to forcibly change your streamlines.
