If you don’t like the yearly/monthly subscription, you can grab the source code and compile the app yourself. Just patch out this line with a returntrue. You could also remove the check here and get access to a few settings that way.
To run your own software on iOS you may need to work around Apple’s fuckery (reinstalling the app every week) but I think there are automated tools that’ll help with that.
Unfortunately you can’t publish your app to the app store (the app is licensed as AGPL and Apple’s app store procedures make it incompatible with most GPL-like licenses, and only the original copyright author had the legal right to relicense the code to allow Apple’s proprietary additions) but perhaps AltStore will accept your fork.
I’ve read CONTRIBUTING.md and unless I’ve missed a line by accident, there is no CLA for contributions, so with the first non-trivial 3rs party contribution the entire code base is AGPL with no way to relicense unless it’s negotiated with said contributor.
The (A)GPL has no problems with the app store. It merely requires that users must be able to install altered versions and that’s certainly possible. It’s the app store policies by Apple that forbid GPL apps.
Missing a CLA seems like an oversight, releasing the public code under a license forbidden by Apple’s terms is most likely a deliberate choice to block competing app store submissions. They’d just use LGPLv2.1, Apache License 2, or so.
The VLC people had to contact many authors to relicense libVLC to LGPLv2.1 because it would otherwise not be compliant to Apple’s terms. Surely the details are documented somewhere.
Feel free to take a look around. We are not yet taking patches as we still have a little bit of tidying up to do. When we do, there will be a contributor license agreement.
You want to be marketed to on your phone that you paid for and continue to pay for, cool. I don’t give a fuck. Why you think others should want that is fucking bizarre. I’ll continue to use software that doesn’t invade my privacy and shill bullshit.
Also, work on your fucking reading comprehension, because at no point did I insinuate I wouldn’t pay for software. Christ on a shitstick.
In-app purchases. Get fukt.

It’s AGPL. Fine with me but: Since when is AGPL code allowed on the Apple app store?

From the README:
So yeah, looks like there will be a CLA.
So hostile, asymmetric licensing…
I use a Lemmy app with IAP (Sync)
It’s great. I literally moved to Lemmy because of Sync.
I found Jerboa on the Fdroid store. It’s amazing looks just like Now for Reddit.
Why wouldn’t you like developers to make a living? Do you expect to get a high quality app for free? Grow up.
