Make application f-droid compatible

[kvlahromei]

Hi, it would be pretty cool, if you could submit the app to www.f-droid.org open source repo. This would allow a wide community to contribute via open311 to the city gov

Currently the app is using the google geocoder. As soon as the latest version is checked in, I will replace this with an open source variant (f.i. mapbox) and try if it can be made available through f-droid.

As far as I can see, it is currently f-droid compatible with all google play related functions replaced. Needs testing.

Thanks milo 👍 Do you dare to add an release, so me (and the f-droid folks) can take a first view of what the app looks / behaves like?

HI @milovanderlinden they replied that they would need pure source including the Open311 API-keys. Is this an no-go?

[milovanderlinden]

The API keys for www.open311.io can be exposed as far as I am concerned. So if there are no other api keys, feel free to do so! We use open311_java as component too, the source code is here: https://github.com/CodeForEindhoven/open311_java

Open311 API key management seems to be up to the enduser app itself and the open311 specs say a key is required to POST operations.
But did you request a new unique key for every server? And where are they stored?
