Root cause: user reported crash on enabling APRS with a callsign set
(empty callsign worked because the service stops early and never
reaches startForeground). Android 14+ requires the service to declare
foregroundServiceType when startForeground passes a type; the service
had none -> process died on toggle.
- Manifest: add android:foregroundServiceType="dataSync"
- AprsCard: use startForegroundService() for start/report actions
(Android 8+ standard for foreground services)
- AprsForegroundService: try-catch around startForeground, fallback
stopSelf instead of killing the process
- AprsReporter: passcode "-1" (APRSdroid "no auth" convention) also
auto-computes from callsign
- Merged upstream 418a05e3 (zh wording fix, no conflicts)

Look4Sat: Satellite tracker
Radio satellite tracker and pass predictor for Android, inspired by Gpredict
Track satellite passes with ease!
Thanks to Celestrak and SatNOGS you have access to over 9000 active satellites.
You can search the entire database by NORAD Catalog Number or the satellite's name.
Orbital positions and passes are calculated relative to your location.
To get reliable data make sure to set the station position via the app Settings.
The application is built using Kotlin, Coroutines, Jetpack Compose and Navigation.
It is now and always will be completely ad-free and open-source.
Main features:
- Predicting satellite positions and passes for up to 10 days
- Showing the list of currently active and upcoming satellite passes
- Showing the active pass progress, polar trajectory and transceivers info
- Showing the satellite positional data, footprint and ground track on the map
- Custom TLE satellite data import is available via Three Line Element .txt files
- Offline first: calculations are made offline. Weekly TLE data update is recommended.
