@v_d_richards@literatur.social If signed by the developer (reproducible) and the developer has submitted to the Google pressure, the app will work fine.
If signed by F-Droid, we think they will not work at all, not even our Client, so we will not be able to provide updates.
For those apps already on Play you will submit to Google's rules and use Play, right?
For those not on Play... good luck tracking the APK, if the developer bowed down.

@fdroidorg@floss.social I hated Google before, but do more every day. I had hoped that if Apps and their developers took it on them to do the verification shit, loading and maintaining at least such apps from other places than PlayStore would be possible in Android. The users are trapped: Banking Apps and some others don' t work with Custom Roms. Open Source from free places will no longer work on G-Android. The only solution is havingntwo devices which is expensive af. I.hate.Google.so.much.
