I can see we might have different definitions of “application”. You know what I meant. Without the back end the APK does nothing. Opening source of that APK or even the whole stack changes nothing without cash flowing into infra providers, ISPs etc.

Yes, try some community like asklemmy instead, seriously. You people are spamming this community with unrelated content. Just because we may happen to know the answer to your question, does not mean this question fits here.

Yeah? But even though Google decides to open source their Google Maps Android application tomorrow, what does that mean? Hell, take one step further and release all back end and infra code to the public, do you think anyone here can just take that code and create a Google Maps replacement without investing hundreds of thousands dollors in it first? What machines will those back end code run on? What map does the application renders without map data? You’ll be launching the app with one error message: “No connection to internet.”

I believe you are asking for a service, not an application, let alone it being open source or not.

Please, could you post it on a community more fit to your topic next time?
