Release Note

Version 3.6 (19)


Musical Mania Android

Native Android app for the public Musical Mania feed. It mirrors the SwiftUI app
and reads structured first-party JSON from
`https://musical-mania.net/api/app-feed.php`. It does not scrape or embed the site.

## Build

Open this directory in Android Studio, let Gradle sync, and run the `app`
configuration on an Android 8.0 (API 26) or newer device. The production target is
Android 16 / API 36.

The app uses HTTPS and contains no ads, analytics, tracking, or login. On Android
8 and 9, storage permission is requested only when the user chooses to save a
Round cover; newer Android versions use the system media store without requesting
that permission. API and image URLs are restricted to `musical-mania.net`.
