Purchase on alternative store

[vmario89]

Dear phanan, i am using Koel for a longer time now (again) and i really appreciate to buy and install the android mobile app. Unfortunately i cannot do, because i have a de-googled phone ("/e/" operating system). I have a google account but i cannot buy an app without connecting google account to the smartphone, which is not possible for me.

So i have no way to pay for the application and download/install. Is there any chance to get the apk and newer releases on different ways from you?

btw. i tried to compile it myself some weeks ago but its too complicated for me. And i would like to give you a donation this way

Came here to write something similar - I did buy the Koel mobile app on a Pixel I had, but I've since switched to the de-googled Mudita Kompakt phone and have no obvious way of restoring my purchase from the Play Store. Could I get a link to the apk or something like that if possible? Open to other ideas. Thanks!

You can check others' forks to see if any release contains the APK. However, please be cautious, as downloading APKs from unofficial sources can be unsafe.

Ah dang - I looked and didn't find a single apk file in any of them.

Actually, I’ve just compiled the latest APK recently. You can try it out: HNIdesu/koel-player.
