install fails - dependency to gapps about android-imsi-catcher-detector

[mjowe]

I see some ways to resolve this issue:
a) don't use maps
b) change the application to use osmdroid instead of the Google Maps API. https://github.com/osmdroid/osmdroid
c) Tell users to install the NOGAPPS Maps API as an alternative. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1715375

@xLaMbChOpSx : Yes, this is indeed a real issue. But since the app is still in alpha, I think we have to remain with Google just a little bit longer. Why? Simply because that's what "most" people have.

You @mjowe still belong to the minority of AOS users who run custom ROMs, and an even smaller one, that have (righteously) decided not to use Google for everything. However, if any of your suggestions above have the possibility to integrate a map view function, directly into our App, without requiring the user to install additional Apps, then perhaps that would be a nice thing. Feel free to contribute any way you can.

I have relabeled this issue for further investigation.

@mjowe Thanks for raising this it should have been included in the release page but was one of those things that just slipped through, I added the details regarding the requirement and having to install either GAPPS or NOGAPPS to assist users and hopefully prevent any confusion or frustration.

As @E3V3A stated this is something we will need to look at down the track and quite possible will mean we change to a non-Google implementation but I agree that at the moment it is not on the top of the priority list as the NOGAPPS API is available as does work as far as I know because I believe @SecUpwN uses it.

I'll close this with the added tag "remember_this".
