How To host repository Server of GrapheneOS

dolphinscorp

Hi every one

I have hosted F-droid repository server on ubuntu, all our apps are available on F-droid strore.

F-droid repo server have setup by following simple procedure

https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Setup_an_F-Droid_App_Repo/

Now, our developers have customized GrapheneOS and installed in mobile, this is on test phase. Now we want to host app repository server for GrapheneOS apps. We need to provide url of repo server to our developer so that they can bind it grapheneOS store.

Please suggest procedure to host GrapheneOS Apps repository server with meta-data creation.

As far as I know, there's no documentation on how to do this.

I saw you posted yesterday asking roughly the same question, so you already found the Github repository for releases and apps. I'd suggest your devs take a look at Apps' code here: https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Apps, maybe this commit would be particularly helpful. At the very least it helps them figure out filenames and all that.

The last bit that they'd need to is to know how to create the required fs-verity files to go alongside the apks. After that I think they should be all set.

I have git cloned this repo. Developer reported, now on App store getting this error
Details:
java.net.Protocol Exception unexpected response HTTP Not Foud https://domain/metadata,1.0.sjson

I tried to run generate.py available in https://github.com/GrapheneOS/apps.grapheneos.org repository. It gives following errors:

badging: error: No such file or directory.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "generate.py", line 28, in <module>
badging = subprocess.check_output(["aapt2", "dump", "badging", os.path.join(src_dir, base_apk)])

return run(*popenargs, stdout=PIPE, timeout=timeout, check=True,
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/subprocess.py", line 516, in run
raise CalledProcessError(retcode, process.args,
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['aapt2', 'dump', 'badging', 'apps-stable/packages/base.apk']' returned non-zero exit status 1.

How to generate metadata?

Any tip can be helpful

dolphinscorp generate.py was used with the initial version of apps repo.
generate2.py is now used instead.
Need to add APKs (can use import-apks.py for this), adjust common-props.toml and props.toml files and then run generate2.py.

Hi Thank you

We are facing two errors, tried to import apk by import-apks.py it gives following error

root@remote:/data/repo-server# python3 import-apks.py SecureNet_v1.1.10A.apk

importing SecureNet_v1.1.10A.apk
W/ziparchive(732097): Unable to open 'badging': No such file or directory
badging: error: No such file or directory.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "import-apks.py", line 14, in <module>
badging = subprocess.check_output(["aapt2", "dump", "badging", path])
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/subprocess.py", line 415, in check_output
return run(*popenargs, stdout=PIPE, timeout=timeout, check=True,
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/subprocess.py", line 516, in run
raise CalledProcessError(retcode, process.args,
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['aapt2', 'dump', 'badging', 'SecureNet_v1.1.10A.apk']' returned non-zero exit status 1.

Then tried by placing apk in apps/packages and then generate2.py it gives following error.

root@remote:/data/repo-server# python3 generate2.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "generate2.py", line 59, in <module>
pkg_signatures = common_props["signatures"]
KeyError: 'signatures'

Can any one advice on this: in scripts generate2.py and import-apks.py command aapt2 is used. aapt2 gives following error

W/ziparchive(732097): Unable to open 'badging': No such file or directory

when i replaced aapt2 to aapt it works, but apk does not reflect in cosmic store but it gives following error in app store :

org.[json.JSONEException: unterminated array of character 453 ....

Please advice.
