F-Droid's build server rebuilt my app from the tagged source in under eight minutes, the Rust core included. It matched the APK I'd signed. Quicker than I'd have guessed for a bare machine that first has to fetch its own Rust toolchain. The reviewer had me take rustup from Debian's package and pin the toolchain and the NDK. Three releases in, it still matches, and so they ship my signature on their build.

Az Obscura kettéválasztja a bizalmat: az egyik hop továbbít, a másik titkosítja a forgalmat, így egyik sem tud egyszerre felismerni téged és a böngészésedet — tényleg véget vet a „no‑logs” megbízhatósági problémájának? Kipróbálnád, hogy ez valóban egyszerű és gyors legyen?

Welcome to the RB family, Habo 🥳
https://apt.izzysoft.de/packages/com.pavlenko.Habo
Habo is a habit tracker app that helps you create and maintain healthy habits for a better life. Almost a year of hard work by its developer finally paid out: full FOSS again, Habo now also successfully passed our RB checks. Thanks, Peter!

@privacyguides Thanks for the news cover. But odd to say that "all apps are signed by #FDroid" which is not true for 35% of them, and we push for new apps to be #ReproducibleBuilds signed by the developers. We publish a new batch of apps every 2 days (which looking around devs posts on Fedi, is great compared to Play), so not a week. Also we have automated updated since Android 12. Thanks for the discussion!

Dev note: six days in F-Droid's review queue. The first question was about the app, not the recipe: what does it do that others don't? The recipe: a full commit hash, never a tag; one build entry until merged; rustup from Debian's package; maintainer notes only for what the recipe can't say (why a path is scanignored); if the app talks to your own server by default, declare TetheredNet yourself. Merged, F-Droid builds it and matches your signed APK byte for byte.

@thomasdorr Great to see #decentralization at work. But we wait for the app in #FDroid too #ReproducibleBuilds 😉

Welcome to the RB familiy, Aves 🥳
https://apt.izzysoft.de/packages/deckers.thibault.aves
Aves is a gallery and metadata explorer par excellence, which I'm using myself for years, and can highly recommend.

Next level unlocked:
While we've passed 10k APKs in our RB logs on August 19 (https://floss.social/@IzzyOnDroid/117124057867770852), we've now passed 10k APKs confirmed to be Reproducible Builds 🥳
10354 packages, 10015 reproducible
(the difference between those numbers are builds we had to declare "failed"; so our success rate is at 97%)

Woo-hoo… Today we passed over the 10k line: our builders have processed and logged 10,008 APKs so far, confirming 9,684 of them as being reproducible 🥳
(of course, many many more have been processed without being logged, while trying to achieve RB – most of them finally succeeding)

IzzyOnDroid is mentioned in the last monthly news at Reproducible-Builds.Org 🤗
https://reproducible-builds.org/reports/2026-06/
* 66.7% coverage of our apps
* more client support
* improvements and new features of our RB tools -
@s3nnet Danke!
Fun Fact, den ich auch erst im Februar auf der FOSDEM gelernt habe: In welchem Jahrzehnt gab es die ersten Reproduzierbaren Builds?

RE: https://floss.social/@IzzyOnDroidOrg/116880605802064413
Our next ambitious milestone is reaching 75% – though it gets harder the higher you climb. But we never give up, never surrender 🙃 Instead we never stopped for the party, and thus, today, we've just passed the 66.7% 🤗
-
The numbers don’t lie. 66.6% coverage 🥳
Today we've officially reached 2/3rd reproducible build coverage! Reproducible Builds allow us to ensure the .apk matches the source code, so nothing "evil" can hide in the binaries 😈. See our Reproducible Builds page on https://izzyondroid.org/about/security/ReproducibleBuilds/ for more details on what this means.
We thank all who helped us reaching this milestone 🤗 For those who want to be part of it: https://izzyondroid.org/docs/reproducibleBuilds/RBDevHints/ gives devs some pointers 😉

@IzzyOnDroidOrg I just got a reminder that those who had "RB updates only" enabled in #NeoStore were not affected. Which is correct: as the "broken version" could not be confirmed as RB, it was not marked as such – while the fixed one was.
So a good idea to use Neo and have that toggle on: whenever you install an RB up, it then only accepts RB updates – unless you override it manually. And non-RB apps are not affected, of course.
-
🚨 If you had updated BlockAds to 6.5.2 (rolled out ~7h ago), please re-install this version – yours is probably broken. Replacement is rolling out while I write this 🚨
RB failed for the original one, revealing a missing file in the upstream APK. Upstream fixed this within hours luckily.
Good thing we have #ReproducibleBuilds at #IzzyOnDroid 🤗 Meanwhile covering about 2 out of 3 apps, btw – 924 apps (66.5%)

26 builds today. 10++ failed – mostly because of the usual GitHub errors (which were fixed by re-running from a different geo location). Still, I stopped counting how many I had to manually fix or let fail.
Dear devs, can we strike a bargain? For each failed build, I get €10 from who caused the failure. That would gain me monthly ~1k € from you – and 10k++ € from MS. I could make a living then, would MS pay their share – but at least survive a little if you do…
