We already offer KDE Connect on a number of proprietary Android stores like Google Play and Huawei's. It would be useful if someone can do some of the preparation and QA work there as well as refreshing the binaries when a new stable update is released. Please reach out on the matrix channel and we'll see how to do it properly. @Simon yes, we are building KDE Connect on the CI now, example: https://invent.kde.org/network/kdeconnect-android/-/commit/b7f3a7d86871ab28b22985d882809857325a42ea/pipelines?ref=master Best, Aleix
