The first part is obvious I think (they don't want to make registration in google's store a requirement for f-droid since that defeats half the purpose of f-droid).
The other half is suggesting they could offer uploading the apps put into f-droid to the store (under an f-droid account I'd guess) but they immediately discard that option since it would make f-droid the exclusive distributor, taking something from the dev.
- WithinReason 1y agowhy would the dev lose the right to distribute their app?
- veeti 1y agoThe signing key with the majority of installs "wins" the package name for use, meaning that only the developer or F-Droid's key can be used for one app.
- WithinReason 1y agocould they just append f-droid to the name then?
