There’s now a fully open source ios app in beta: https://forum.syncthing.net/t/beta-test-my-new-ios-app-for-syncthing/22457

Also from seemingly reasonable commenters there’s so often arguments around security coming up. I don’t get how one can jump to that idea? This obviously has nothing to do with security, it’s about sanction compliance. And yes, likely a pretty pointless sanction compliance in this instance, as the sanctioned entities don’t have a direct benefit from having an employee name mentioned in the kernel. However that’s not how sanctions work, both just because, and also intuitively it makes sense: Sanctions wouldn’t be enforcable at scale if every single case would have to be judged on merit - it’s hard enough to enforce them as is.

And btw I so hope most of the comments on here are Russian trolls, but I fear many are people that fully drunk the Russian trolls’ cool-aid and are now fully brainwashed…

As the statement says I wont - it will be fully discontinued. This statement applies to the official app only. It doesn’t say anything about other apps or forks - any existing once can and hopefully will continue to exist. Also all the code is free.

I am not the creator, funnily that is/was one of the Lemmy creators: Nutomic :)
I am a syncthing co-maintainer that kept the android app on life support since a while.

It’s all in the open, you can go dig around for reasons. As usual there wasn’t a single simple one. Neither was it some kind of complete fallout, we e.g. collaborated on translations and I have been in contact around various things with the one that forked.

Oh don’t worry to much, mine too: If there wasn’t an alternative for syncthing on android, I might have kept it on lifesupport :)
