What's up with KartaView pushing Android app updates with no changes to their Github source code? (sh.itjust.works)

If you look at their Github account, there hasn't been a commit to their Android app in 3 years: https://github.com/kartaview/android

However, their Google Play listing shows it was last updated on February 8, 2024. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.telenav.streetview

When Grab Holdings acquired KartaView, did they just take the open source code and start working on a proprietary copy? It's MIT licensed which allows commercial use.

Thanks, this makes sense now. Unfortunately, the code is now closed source which means there are no open source street level imagery platforms for OSM that I'm aware of with mobile apps.

You can just take photos with any app, than upload it from a computer with the kartaview uploader, which is still foss: https://github.com/kartaview/upload-scripts

There is also the similar Panoramax/Geovisio and the full platform is foss (yet): https://gitlab.com/geovisio/web-viewer/

A public instance is hosted by osm france: https://panoramax.openstreetmap.fr No mobileapp, but you can upload on the website or with a similar cli tool: https://gitlab.com/geovisio/cli
