 submitting to F-Droid main.
 
+IzzyOnDroid submission details, when you want to send it:
+
+- App ID: `org.skatespots.app`
+- Source: `https://git.skate-spots.org/skatespots/SkateSpots`
+- APK: the signed asset on the latest Forgejo release
+- License: `AGPL-3.0-only`
+- Category: Sports
+- Summary: `Local-first skate map, crews, events and marketplace`
+- Keep the developer signature; do not ask users to replace an existing install
+  with an F-Droid-main-signed build.
+
+No GitHub account is used anywhere in this path.

 ## Release checklist
 
 1. `npm test`
 2. `scripts/release.sh patch --yes --deploy` (Zapstore + web)
 3. Push the release tag and `main` to Forgejo.
-4. Attach `android/app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk` and its
-   `.sha256` to the Forgejo release.
-5. Copy the signed APK into the F-Droid repo on the relay host, update the
-   metadata changelog and run `fdroid update`; sync `repo/` to
-   `/var/www/fdroid/repo/`.
+4. Upload the APK through the helper:
+   `FORGEJO_TOKEN=... scripts/publish-forgejo.sh <version>`
+   (or set `FORGEJO_TOKEN` before `release.sh`; the APK upload is then automatic)
+5. Copy the signed APK into the F-Droid repo on the relay host, add a
+   `metadata/org.skatespots.app.yml` changelog entry, run `fdroid update`, and
+   sync `repo/` to `/var/www/fdroid/repo/`.
 6. Verify the public latest-release page contains the new `.apk`, and that
-   `https://fdroid.skate-spots.org/repo/index-v2.json` still lists the app.
+   `https://fdroid.skate-spots.org/repo/index-v2.json` lists the new
+   `versionCode`.
 7. Update the static download page if the displayed version/checksum changes:
    `public/download/index.html`.
