That's the kind of collaboration that requires trust.
To be honest, I don't see myself asking for help someone who takes my game and redistributes it freely.
It would be adding insult to injury.

Many of the games that get ported are released for free at some point, the main porters usually try not to release a port before that happens. If you asked them to stop porting your game, I wouldnt be surprised if estrada777 did so. They generally seem to be fairly reasonable people who have more than enough to do.
Alternatively, I believe that some of them are willing to do the work and let the dev control the distribution, depends how the dev wants to handle it.
Either way, I don't really see that you lose a lot by having a word. Hope it works out for you.
I don't plan to release Summer Scent for free. I want to release it on Steam and sell it. I'm trying to make a living out of it. (Let's be honest, it works pretty meh so far, but it's either that or there is no game at all.)
Maybe it's misplaced pride, but I can't really envision anyone but me doing that work.
Thank you!
Im sorry I wasn't clearer. What I was suggesting was that you contact them, ask them to stop distributing your work for free and say that if they really want to help you wouldnt mind a hand in porting the android version, making clear that the android version would only be released by you via itch.io etc. I would expect the first request to not cause a problem and the second request might be achievable.
I only suggest it because you were talking about problems with the android version and I try to help where I can.
