FAQ (3)
tutorialHow to start recording using an Android intent so automation apps like KeyMapper can trigger it?
The feature to start recording via an intent is already implemented. You can use the MacroDroid macro from the Macro Store (link: https://www.macrodroidlink.com/macrostore?id=28194) or configure KeyMapper to send a custom intent to trigger recording. Check the app's documentation for the exact intent action and extras.
TroubleshootingWhy is my F-Droid/Fastlane short description truncated, and how to fix the 'short_description.txt too long' error?
Fastlane metadata short_description.txt must be ≤80 characters. Reduce it, e.g., change 'Open-source, ad-free multimedia recorder with background video recording, screen recording, and more' to 'multimedia recorder with background video recording, screen recording, and more'. Also ensure changelogs/XX.txt is ≤500 characters and plain text (no Markdown/HTML).
TroubleshootingWhy does F-Droid build fail with Android Gradle Plugin 8.12.x or 8.13.0?
AGP 8.12.x and 8.13.0 are known to break builds on the F-Droid buildserver. Downgrade to AGP 8.11.1 as a workaround. Monitor https://gitlab.com/fdroid/admin/-/issues/593 for a permanent fix.
