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.

Sad to see it go. There is a fork but seems not so great considering they are looking for active maintainer. Still better than nothing. Need to check it out as it has some enhancements.

Planning to close my Google Play Developer Account. Please say hi if you are interested in obtaining the latest gplay release files from me to help in publishing this app

Yes, there seems to be an open issue for this bug, but actually the developers response doesn't inflict confidence in the fork ๐Ÿ˜… He seems to have updated the app to target Android 15 without testing in it in the emulator.

Welp my phone updated to 15 today...guess I can join the bugged syncthing-fork club.

Looks like it is fixed in the latest release, just have to wait until it gets pushes to fdroid.

If you want to speed up that process you could install Obtainium. Did that and with the newest release the app is usable again ๐Ÿ‘

You know, I have obtainium but often forget it exists.
