Will /e/ include Corona exposure notification API and if so: when?

Update: The article on microG was shared here

Expect the App to be released this week if testing completes on time.

The steps for the implementation are as under.

  • Users download the covid tracing framwork apk from App Store. This gets installed on top of existing microG on the /e/ OS.
  • User enables the framework app
  • Next user downloads and install covid-19 tracing apps specific to their country or region
  • User activates these covid tracing apps

The whole process has been made a bit complicated so that

  • it has to be installed and enabled by the user deliberately
  • To make it easy in case user wants to remove it at a later date.

Will share proper documentation on this once we are ready to release.
