    Sensitive permissions aren't a Console checkbox. They're the line between using #Android and renting it.

    Play can ban a feature the OS already guards with runtime consent. Call Log was the warning. Contacts is the 2026 sequel. Developer verification goes further: an identity checkpoint even for installs outside Play.

    FOSS only stays free if we can still ship it. @fdroidorg. #Obtainium. @IzzyOnDroidOrg. Direct.

    Be nice is now on Google Play, @IzzyOnDroidOrg, and #Obtainium.

    Play for the store. IzzyOnDroid for the FOSS repo. Obtainium if you want the Codeberg APK the moment it ships.

    What's going on with Firefox Beta on Android? Tonight my Fenix installed through Obtainium on my de-googled Graphene OS did an update, and since then I cannot open it anymore. The crash log contains an ominous:

    Caused by: com.google.android.play.core.review.ReviewException: -1: Review Error(-1): The Play Store app is either not installed or not the official version. (developer.android.com/referenc)

    It seems caused by the PlayStoreReviewPromptController which occasionally asks you to rate Firefox Beta on the Google Play Store.

    Is it just me? I filed a bug report.

    @mrbones909 #LineageOS still uses the #PlayStore, but yeah, I really like #FOSS #App Stores:

    #FDroid fdroid.org
    #NeoStore: github.com/NeoApplications/Neo
    #Obtainium obtainium.imranr.dev/

    Installing FOSS apps on your phone sometimes certainly feels like an eternal XKCD 927 purgatory.

    - Apps by GrapheneOS for some GrapheneOS apps (and assorted     ✨other✨ apps.
    - Obtainium for installing apps directly from source/repos.
    - Neo Store for installing apps who cannot be arsed to have     .apk files in their repos (#AntennaPod), yet without dealing with the typical F-Droid shenanigans.
    - Accrescent, because hell, why not! The more, the merrier!
    - And, of course, Google Play Store for the corporate goblins.
