    marcprux has posted on the F-Droid blog about Google's plan to require all Android developers to register centrally (like Apple), effectively killing the distribution of FOSS through F-Droid.

      Actually if you want to release an app in the PlayStore you have to upload an ID and get approval anyway. This requirement is now needed for sideloading apps too I believe, which is the problem that everyone is making a big deal out of.

        Absolutely. At least they aren't stopping sideloading altogether (like Apple), but it's still concerning for FOSS projects.

        Welcome, btw!
