Provide an ability to build FOSS-friendly variant about telegram-x HOT 5 OPEN

Maybe it's also worth to add F-Droid support or create own F-Droid compatible repository?

Today I found PR, that adds UnifiedPush support for Telegram FOSS: Telegram-FOSS-Team/Telegram-FOSS#715

This may be useful as a reference implementation for the future FOSS port.

Also because installed from play store this application is forced to censor some groups / channels / content.

I am not familiar with its exact specifications, but, AFAIK, in order to create it all components of the app must be open source, therefore Telegram X doesn't meet this criteria until it will be possible to build FOSS-friendly variant by passing some arguments to setup.sh or local.properties which would exclude any closed-source components (such as Google Play Services).

Note that this issue doesn't have assignee — meaning that currently nobody is working on it and it is PR-welcome.

It would be great to see this Android app on F-Droid!

F-Droid is an Android app store specifically for free/libre open-source apps. It would be great if your app could be released there, as it is the number one for getting FLOSS Android apps for many people.
F-Droid also builds all apps from source (optionally even reproducible), so downloads from there can be trusted.

The app developer FAQ or the quick start guide may help you to get started.

BTW a release on F-Droid could also bring some (more) popularity (in case that is intended), as it will show up in the app (new apps are featured there).
