Why has the central govt changed its tune and open sourced it.
Usually they would defend everything and say it's safe and all.

from what I remember they have been saying that releasing it in open source is planned from the very beginning. Plus, unlike Aadhaar, this is a global thing which is being scrutinized by privacy organizations all over the world.
So that hacker(elliot) bend their back and made them do it...😑This is interesting.

It is incomplete without its server-side code. lol
My society sent letter to whole society to install Aarogya Setu.
And also a form asking about details of all the members of house, their age, contact number and any existing illness.
It also asked to declare that we have installed Aarogya Setu and any COVID symptoms will be reported to society and municipality.

App available on Play Store(v1.1.3) not compiled from source released on Github · Issue #278 · nic-delhi/AarogyaSetu_Android
Latest version of AarogyaSetu on Play Store as of 28th May 3:15 pm IST is v1.1.3 . This version was not compiled from source released on Github. The first ever commit on Github is for v1.2.0. Can y...

Actual app on the play store and the version released on Github are different. lol Knew it.
The fact that Github can store unlimited versions means there was no reason to not release the older version. They are just being annoying. Of the so many bugs reported, none of them has gotten fixed.
And what's to stop the Govt from releasing say 1.30 on play store while keeping the Git repository stuck at 1.2? I mean they have released the source code. Nowhere they claimed that it would be of the actual live app on the store. They just released some code and their job is done. Nobody is checking the bug reports. There is no date on when the server code will be released.
Everything is a big deal unless full and proper code is released.

from what i have seen in the past, developers try to clean up code before they release anything in open source. things that you do not want to be scrutinized by public. like you may be using proprietary or open source in violation of the license and shit like that?
Aarogya Setu and patient tracking tools: A serious infringement of digital privacy

The only commits done to the public repository is changing readme files and few strings here and there. That's all.
