I feel like any security issues could be solved by just letting app developers sign their own app bundles again. Then you could ensure an app is legitimate whether from the Play Store, F-Droid, or Shady Free App Store. Currently, Google makes it so painful to try to use independently-distributed software because apps signed by Google can't be upgraded by independently built versions and vice-versa. (Plus Play Protect pops up and disguisedly asks if I want to delete all F-Droid apps like every month.)
- pohuing 2y agoI'm not sure where play protect is supposed to come in. I haven't had a single play protect pop up ever and have been using fdroid and my own apps for years. This was on a pixel and now an Asus. I am in the EU tho, so maybe there's difference policies?
