Will this be pushed to the F-droid version? Only downloaded from there.

I don't think so but might be though.

Can't include any proprietary code, so using the google sdk would invalidate it I believe.

I'm just using the default GrapheneOS SMS app, but it's concerning seeing the number of these FOSS apps lately adding major privacy invasive permission changes. Are there a few big companies buying them up for a quick buck, or what?

[–] yamanii@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

That's exactly what happened.

Not really the focus here, but Google could really improve those listings by providing some guidance as to what permissions are actually required for certain tasks.

I am not certain I would know if am SMS program needs full Internet access or not.

(I get in this instance everything added is bad.)

I just went into Droidify to make sure all my simple apps stopped auto-updating and they all already had ignored new versions checked. Is this something I did or is this something Droidify did or is this something the f-droid repository did? If it's the one of the latter two that's pretty cool.
