Summary

Follow-up to #73. F-Droid reviewer re-reviewed and re-blocked (MR 40630): the installer-identity check (installerStore == 'org.fdroid.fdroid') only catches the official F-Droid client — other F-Droid clients, sideloaded installs, or installs where installer info can't be read all fell through with analyticsEnabled defaulting to true, so telemetry could still fire.

Also flagged separately by another maintainer (linsui): checking install source this way is fragile since multiple F-Droid client apps exist.

  • Removed the PackageInfo-based F-Droid installer detection entirely.
  • analyticsEnabled now defaults to false for every install, everywhere. Telemetry requires an explicit opt-in via the Privacy toggle in Settings, independent of install source.
  • Still no build-recipe changes needed — same binary everywhere, reproducible-build comparison against the GitHub release APK is unaffected.

Test plan

  • flutter analyze clean
  • flutter test — full suite (472 tests) passes

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Privacy
    • Analytics is now disabled by default.
    • Added a clear privacy description explaining the analytics setting.
    • The analytics toggle now consistently reflects and controls the saved preference.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Updated app analytics behavior to honor the selected analytics preference.

Second round of F-Droid review (MR 40630): the installer-identity
check (PackageInfo.installerStore == 'org.fdroid.fdroid') only
catches the official F-Droid client. Other F-Droid clients, sideloads,
or installs where installer info can't be read all fell through with
analyticsEnabled defaulting to true, so telemetry still fired on
first launch for those cases.
Drop the installer-detection entirely and just default
analyticsEnabled to false for every install. Telemetry now requires
an explicit opt-in via the Privacy toggle regardless of install
source, which is simpler, removes the fragile detection, and still
needs no build-recipe changes (same binary everywhere, reproducible
builds unaffected).

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Changes

Analytics preference control

Layer / File(s)Summary
Default and persisted analytics setting
workout-logger/lib/services/settings_provider.dart
SettingsProvider now disables analytics by default, removes F-Droid-based telemetry state, and enables analytics only when the stored value is 'true'.
Runtime and privacy controls
workout-logger/lib/main.dart, workout-logger/lib/screens/widgets/profile_sections.dart
App initialization and the Privacy section now use settings.analyticsEnabled. The switch remains editable through setAnalyticsEnabled, and the description states that analytics are off by default.

Merge Risk:⚪ Minimal · up to ef7bc

Analytics now defaults off for all installs and requires explicit opt-in, with no actionable merge-blocking risk remaining after normal checks and review.

Remove the absolute privacy claim.

ApiService.sendHeartbeat sends user_app_id, platform, and a timestamp. A persistent install or online identifier can be personal data under applicable privacy definitions. Do not state “no personal data.”

Describe this as pseudonymous telemetry. Link to the complete privacy disclosure. (eur-lex.europa.eu)

Add analytics migration tests.

The previous release persisted 'true' only through the Privacy toggle. It did not persist its default-enabled state. The current logic correctly disables missing and 'false' values and restores explicit 'true' values. Add regression coverage for all three cases.
