In August 2025, Google announced that as of September 2026, it will no longer be possible to develop apps for the Android platform without first registering centrally with Google. This would involve paying Google an annual fee and given them my private signing key. Since I am sharing this app in the hope that it will be useful and not for any profit I find it unreasonable to pay Google just to make this app available; and one of the most basic tenets of computer security as that you never share passwords or private keys with anyone else because that would allow bad actors to impersonate you.
