jexner ๐ณ๏ธโ๐I have changed the navigation in one of my Android apps - Foto Timer - from Compose Navigation to Nav3 successfully, and am now able to get a reproducible build. YES!
Now for the other apps...
I have tried for almost 3 days to get an Android app back to being reproducible, and now I am giving up. Sod it.
I'll do something else and revisit when I have re-charged enough to do so.
Big sigh!

@IzzyOnDroid That documentation is good, thank you for that!
All: recommended if you try to create reproducible builds of your Android apps: https://izzyondroid.org/docs/reproducibleBuilds/DebugFailedRBs/
Sylvia2025 had ups and downs, but I loved my 2025 at #IzzyOnDroid.
Our team has grown with several new members and we launched https://izzyondroid.org/, our new web home!
We even got our first grant ever (thanks, @nlnet!), allowing us to bring download statistics to IzzyOnDroid and integrate it directly into #NeoStore (and soon #Droidify), improve the #ReproducibleBuild system and more.
I'm grateful to the team for giving me a space where I feel able to make a difference โค๏ธ

If you are developing Android apps, and you want them to be reproducible builds, and you publish on F-Droid: building with Narwhal may not work, for me it doesn't.
Build the release APK with Ladybug, instead, and all is good.
I'm seeing a lot of people are confused about my frustration with #FDroid's #ReproducibleBuild system, so let me explain:
Sometimes, F-Droid compares their build result with the developer's, meaning both parties (F-Droid and the app dev) agree on the expected result. Other times, they just build their own APK a second time in the same environment, never checking if the developer got the same result.
Both these cases are labeled "Reproducible Build", despite the huge differences.

Breakthrough in that whole "reproducible builds" subject! Rafael released v2.2.0 of Compose Destinations, and it orders files reproducibly. Yay!
Immediately fixed two apps that had not been updated on F-Droid for weeks, and I may now tackle the next one, which has other problems, too.

I'm about ready to give up on publishing my Android apps on f-droid or any other place, and it is because of reproducible builds.
I have not been able to make a single app compile in a reproducible way lately. They sometimes fit between my PC and my linux box, but never with the f-droid build.
I have tried setting up an f-droid build server, and failed. There is not much documentation. (1/2)
