If you mean updating your program automatically, maybe you could get it onto Google Play?

I wish, Google no longer allows the app in it's current form.
What I'm up to the other half of the time "BorregoWildflowers.org"

What if you could add some non-intrusive adds on google play, in order to have some revenue, but still make the app free?

That's not the problem I do have an Android and Apple account.
Android is very cheap.
It's because of the way the BOINC Client works ( as a Linux daemon ) , it's considered insecure and thus no longer allowed.

So how come Boinc itself is allowed on there?

Ugh, no such thing as a non-intrusive ad.

It's older and published before the no longer allowed deadline.

Right.... so it's ok to have a program that breaks their rules so long as it was there before they changed them?  Google don't make sense.  Mind you, they have removed at least one that I know of when the rules changed.  Pipboy for Fallout 4.  It's an app that connects directly with your PC when you're playing a game, to allow a second screen on your phone, so presumably doing similar weird networking as your programs do.
