When Will the App be Available on Android?

There is an app called ICEBlock available for the iPhone.

It's a lot like Waze, only for sharing information about masked fascist goons.

The Trump Administration threatened CNN for just mentioning it. 

I wanted it ported to Android:

There’s an app out there that Trump administration officials hate so much that, according to them, even reporting on it is a crime.

So I’m reporting on it. And you should download it. And you should tell your friends and neighbors to download it, too.

It’s called ICEBlock. It’s a clever app that lets people report ICE sightings, then warns any people who are nearby. You can download it on your iPhone here or here. It’s available in 14 languages.

“When I saw what was happening in this country, I wanted to do something to fight back,” ICEBlock developer Joshua Aaron told CNN. (Here’s the story in Spanish; here’s the video.)

Aaron said he sees parallels between Trump’s deportation efforts and Nazi Germany. “We’re literally watching history repeat itself,” he told CNN, “and so I thought ‘What if there was an early warning system?’”

The app, which is modeled after the popular Waze traffic app, allows users to anonymously add a pin on a map showing where they have spotted immigration enforcement activity and post optional notes. Other users within a five-mile radius then receive a push alert notifying them of the sighting.

………

But Trump and his aides have responded to news about the app with fury, hyperbole, and threats. They’re so inflamed, in fact, that they’re conflating the app and CNN’s reporting on the app, calling for CNN to be investigated and prosecuted. 

It's almost enough for me to get an iPhone.  (Not really)

The programmer argues that Android cannot provide the same level of privacy as the iPhone, but this a matter of considerable debate.

My first take, and I am not a software guy, is that the author is conflating the Android App Store with Android, which allows for things like side loading (trivial in Android) and a number of alternate techniques that can be used in Android's less restrictive programming environment. 

What I think does not matter though, I'm not going to be porting this to Android.
