I just made an app which, I believe would just be a test when I publish it to F-Droid. I just wonder if you have some ideas of how to publish it there, especially all the source code and build logs.

I want to hear your answers on this

F-Droid is just a front end for repositories so there are a few ways you can list an app on it - mainly by hosting your own repo or contributing to an existing one.

If you go into F-Droid -> Settings -> Repositories you can see what repos are already configured. Most major repos will have a guide for how to contribute, and this is the F-Droid official repo guide.

I went through this process for the first time recently. I opened the RFP issue, and got a response from Izzy very quickly. They were very helpful and responsive through the whole process. I was nervous it would be a slow tedious process when I started, but it turned out to be pretty quick and easy, largely thanks to Izzy's help.
