> Next, I install signal on my phone via the app store. How do I know the app I installed matches the source code that was audited? After all, google / Apple could decide / be forced to provide a modified binary.
Isn't this already happening on both play store and app store? The actual package delivered to end users is actually generated and signed by google/apple, and they can modify the binary inside the package as they see fit (e.g. to optimize for each user's device arch, etc).
