Does this break F-Droid?
Would be a tragedy if it did. So many interesting and useful apps there without the obnoxious ads or nagging to upgrade.
I'm entirely on F-Droid, with no Google account and no Play Store. Losing F-Droid would force me off Android.
I'm the same. No Google account since 2012. F-Droid is an amazing community effort and has enabled me to find so many great open source applications.
Same.
One thing that annoys me is that a lot of F-Droid apps are obviously naive ports with overbroad permissions like "can read the entirety of storage", but that's still better than the all-consuming Goo.
Maybe F-Droid can sign all packages themselves? Would google let them do that?
"Can?"
Sure.
"Would?" Google has zero incentive to do that.
>can? would?
They literally already do? https://f-droid.org/docs/Signing_Process/
