Within this folder, the metadata follows the Fastlane [supply](https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions/supply/) structure, see example below:\n\n```\n├── en-US                       (en-US is the F-Droid fallback language)\n│   ├── short_description.txt   (short description, max 80 chars, mandatory)\n│   ├── full_description.txt    (full app description, mandatory)\n│   ├── title.txt               (app name)\n│   ├── video.txt               (URL to a video introducing the app)\n│   ├── images\n│   │   ├── icon.png            (app icon, mandatory if your app doesn't include any png icon)\n│   │   ├── featureGraphic.png  (promo banner, shown on top of the app desc in F-Droid client; landscape)\n│   │   ├── tvBanner.png        (\"icon\" for TV devices, currently not used)\n│   │   ├── phoneScreenshots\n│   │   │   ├── 1.png\n│   │   │   ├── 2.png\n│   │   │   ...\n│   │   ├── sevenInchScreenshots/\n│   │   ├── tenInchScreenshots/ (you may add different screenshots for different screen sizes)\n│   │   ├── tvScreenshots/\n│   │   └── wearScreenshots/\n│   └── changelogs\n│       ├── 100000.txt          (must correspond to versionCode, literally, no padding)\n│       ├── 100100.txt          (if the version code was set to 100100)\n│       └── 100101.txt          (maximum size: 500 characters)\n└── es                          (other locale codes)\n    ...                         (localized metadata is always preferred by the client)\n    └── changelogs\n        └── 100100.txt\n```\n\n## How to\n\n### Update metadata\n\nTo update the metadata, you can simply edit the files in the `applicationId` directory and push the changes to the repository.\n\n### Integrate metadata into the app's source repository\n\nThere are [4 options](https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/-/blob/master/fdroidserver/update.py?ref_type=heads#L1031) to integrate the metadata into the app's source repository:\n\n1. `/src/{buildFlavor}/fastlane/metadata/android/{locale}`\n2. `/fastlane/metadata/android/{locale}`\n3. `/metadata/{locale}`\n4. `/metadata/{applicationId}/{locale}`\n\nThe metadata is stored in the `app-metadata` directory of the app's source repository. The `app-metadata` directory should be at the root of the repository.\n\nCreate a git submodule in the app's source repository:\n\n```sh\ngit submodule add https://gitlab.com/fdroid/thunderbird-android-metadata.git app-metadata\n```\n\nTo allow F-Droid to pick up the metadata while building the app, you need to link from `app-metadata/{applicationId}` to `metadata` to comply with the 3rd lookup location. Modify your `{applicationId}.yml` at `fdroiddata` to include the following:\n\n```yaml\nBuilds:\n  - versionName: \"{versionName}\"\n    versionCode: { versionCode }\n    ...\n    prebuild: ln -s app-metadata/{applicationId} metadata\n```\n\nor if `subdir` is set:\n\n```yaml\nBuilds:\n  - versionName: \"{versionName}\"\n    versionCode: { versionCode }\n    ...\n    subdir: {subdir}\n    prebuild: ( cd .. \u0026\u0026 ln -s app-metadata/{applicationId} metadata )\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fthunderbird%2Fthunderbird-android-metadata","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fthunderbird%2Fthunderbird-android-metadata","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fthunderbird%2Fthunderbird-android-metadata/lists"}
