Infinity, a lesser known open-source third-party Reddit app for Android, has announced that it will be switching to a subscription-only model. This would mean that the F-Droid version of the app will be delisted and the API key currently in the source code of the app will be removed. As of this post, the developer is currently not interested in converting Infinity into a Lemmy client, but encourages others to look into doing it themselves because of the app’s open source nature.
It’s also quite common to have the key directly in the app like that’s the case with twitch (I mean the desktop app) and Crunchyroll
Yeah, but those are first party apps. Entirely different scenario.
Not really. You can extract the key and use it in your application
