Somewhat of a hot take here, but why is this even a problem? Why would shitty clones with malware existing somehow damage the original app? Every open source app on Android has these problems, but they don't seem to affect the app's existance or reputation. And in the case of AetherSX2, the benefits of a transparent, community-driven mobile emulator certainly outweight any risks it may have. The point is not to prevent these things from happening, the point is to have enough people sbowing support and contributions for your software that the clones with malware become something just not worth it to even care about.
