Can we add Magic Eath to Complex apps if not already?

I'd like to know if the Magic Earth app has a pre-configured config I can import. I'm considering getting the app.

Magic Earth is available in F-Droid, so you can simply add the F-Droid repository in Obtainium (Settings → Sources) and then search for Magic Earth directly—no special config needed. Obtainium will handle the download and installation. If you already have a config file, you can import it in Settings → Import/Export.

Using the F-Droid repo is not the best idea though, I'd rather get the direct download from the Magic Earth website, since it's an official build, and not a build signed by F-droid.

There's many reasons I dislike F-droid, like this

I imagine the config is not to hard to make since it is a similar situation to WhatsApp and VLC's config.

That's right, and Oeffi has also the same magic behind it as how to obtain the apk from an external source 😉.

I've got a repo that mirrors new versions directly from Magic Earth's website: https://github.com/emacsomancer/Obtainium-friendly-Magic-Earth

It just uses a GitHub CI process to check the official Magic Earth website for a new version, and if there is, downloads the apks, verifies them against Magic Earth's official "ROUTE 66" signature, and publishes them as a new release so that Obtainium will pick it up as a new version.

I didn't know about the F-Droid version - in fact I can't find it on F-Droid (and it's not open source, so I don't see how it could be).

(you can just add the mirrored Magic Earth apk from my repo in the usual way to Obtainium, with the repo address https://github.com/emacsomancer/Obtainium-friendly-Magic-Earth - though the initial add seems very slow for some reason - not sure if there's something I might do to optimise better for Obtainium, or some better "add" settings I could recommend for faster initial add.)
