- em-bee 2mo agomost if not all apps on f-droid are not going to be verified mostly because many of the developers are unlikely to be interested to submit those apps to google for verification.
- lern_too_spel 2mo agoThe judge unfortunately didn't ask Google to solve for F-Droid's use case, but app verification doesn't change it at all except for apps whose builds are reproducible, which F-Droid can serve the developer's signed builds for, and which the developer can register with Google. Instead, as I pointed out in my original comment, we need to complain about the upcoming "advanced flow" for unknown source app installation. It should not but does require enabling developer mode. It should and does save the user's preferences for unknown source installation across device updates.
- rcxdude 2mo agoThat is not what google says. And it's not what it actually does, either. It creates more, scarier warnings in the case of installing an unverified app.
