I want to pay for and use Sync without having to accept the AdMob Privacy Policy

Ideally a Pro version of the App, but ljdawson has specified that Google Play doesn’t allow that

Failing that, an APK on the Releases page of Github where I can download a version which requires verification of paid status

    Afaik this is impossible on the play store because of some newish guideline

    They don’t want two identical apps if the whole point of the purchase could also be an in-app-purchase.

    I’m not sure it’s worth risking a ban to try this

      You can’t do that anymore? Damn, I definitely preferred buying Sync for Reddit Pro as opposed to the IAP to remove ads. That was always better because it didn’t even contain the code to show ads.

        How do you know what code it contained? For all you know it could be a simple build flag that disables the ads the same way iap would

          If I remember correctly, Lawrence stated it doesn’t have it in at all.

      That’s why I’m saying it could be an APK file we can download from Github/wherever

        Implementing your own licensing library is a lot of work for a very small audience.

          Yea I appreciate that. It’s a feature request, just hoping it gains some popularity

          I’d wager the Lemmy community is more savvy about privacy than most
