RepoStore is a GitHub-powered Android app store that discovers repositories shipping real installable APKs and lets you install, track, and update them from one place.

✨ What is RepoStore? RepoStore is a native Android app that turns GitHub releases into a clean, Play Store style experience:

Only shows repositories that actually provide installable APK assets. Detects installed apps and shows update availability. Always installs from the latest published release with changelog. Presents a polished details screen with stats, README, and developer info.

Public repository on GitHub

Visibility must be public. At least one published release

Created via GitHub Releases (not only tags). The latest release must not be a draft or prerelease. APK assets in the latest release

The latest release must contain at least one .apk file. GitHub's auto-generated source artifacts are ignored. Discoverable by search / topics

Repositories are fetched via the public GitHub Search API. Topics like android, mobile, apk help ranking. Having stars makes it more likely to appear in sections. If your repo meets these conditions, RepoStore can find it through search and show it automatically—no manual submission required.

🧭 How RepoStore Works Search

Uses GitHub's /search/repositories endpoint with Android-focused queries. Applies scoring based on topics, language, and description. Filters out archived repos. Release + Asset Check

For candidate repos, calls /repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases/latest. Checks the assets array for .apk files. If no APK is found, the repo is excluded from results. Details Screen

Repository info: name, owner, description, stars, forks. Latest release: tag, published date, changelog, assets. README: loaded and rendered as "About this app". Screenshots: detected from repository contents. Install Flow

When user taps "Install": Downloads the APK with progress indicator. Delegates to the system package installer. Records installation in local database. Shows "Open" button for installed apps.
