Hi everyone,
Last year the Wikimedia Foundation developed a Android mobile app for Wiki Loves Monuments. After September it was abandoned. But the app is open source, so now it's back as a community supported app. I rebuild the backend server in toollabs and Yuvi did his magic mobile tricks. Yuvi also works for the WMF mobile team, but he did all of this in his spare time as a volunteer.
Great! Thanks Yuvi, and thanks Maarten for following up.
You can download a test version of the app at https://tools.wmflabs.org/heritage/downloads/WLMMobile-debug.apk . It uploads to https://test.wikipedia.org so feel free to play around. Feedback is appreciated! For the people interested in helping with the development, see https://github.com/wikimedia/WLMMobile
Shouldn't the gerrit repo (apps/mobile/WikiLovesMonuments) be used? https://git.wikimedia.org/summary/apps%2Fmobile%2FWikiLovesMonuments

Note: If you still have the app from last year installed, this build will *not* install on your phone - you need to uninstall the older version to install this.
Thanks!
This is unfortunate. Isn't there a way to perform a transition of keys? Perhaps with an intermediate app.
If the certificate changes, so should do the app name. We can't expect the end users to manually deinstall the old one before installing. If nothing better, I would publish a WMF-signed update to the old one which simply leads you [when opened] to the app store page to install a new one.
