Announcement by the creator: forum.syncthing.net/t/…/23002
Unfortunately I don’t have good news on the state of the android app: I am retiring it. The last release on Github and F-Droid will happen with the December 2024 Syncthing version.
Reason is a combination of Google making Play publishing something between hard and impossible and no active maintenance. The app saw no significant development for a long time and without Play releases I do no longer see enough benefit and/or have enough motivation to keep up the ongoing maintenance an app requires even without doing much, if any, changes.
Thanks a lot to everyone who ever contributed to this app!

Oh my goodness! Syncthing without Android leaves me screwed. My whole digital life revolves around it.

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 :)

What is this alternative of which you speak?

What’s the history behind this? Why could the changes be done upstream, necessitating a fork?

FolderSync is a good alternative, more battery friendly too!
