minus-squaretom42linkfedilink1•1 year agoI agree that F-Droid is great! What I usually do is to buy the pro version on Google Play and install it later on F-Droid. On the other hand I don’t see anything wrong for non tech people to install FOSS apps from the Play Store. The apps are still FOSS

minus-square@Pantherina@feddit.delinkfedilink2•1 year agoI think this is a myth. Android Studio or something allows to build it in, but Google doesnt automatically do that. Afaik
