      They’ll push the update through Google Play Services, so if your phone is Gapps free, you’ll probably be able to continue to use F-Droid.

      Yes.

      Edit: Appoxo is right, technically you can still use f-droid on any phone. Check my comment below.

        Huh?
        They stated that there will be a bypass and to just wait 24 hours until you can install APKs as usual. Permanently without additional cooldowns.

        It’s another story how long this will stay but for now,your answer is false information.

          Ok, technically you’re right. You can still install apps from f-droid with any Android phone for now. The issue is more that most Android uses will not perform those steps so f-droid will not be able to reach them. People that are already using f-droid and understand what’s going on are file (for now).

            Exactly what I said.
            Authenticate, wait, unlock indefinitely and then have fun.

            Like I said. It’s only a matter of “how long” that will stay but it’s as of right now false information that it’s completely impossible to bypass it on stock android.

            so - yes, there is a bypass for an indefinitely enabled apk installation with the annoyance of 24 hour wait when you first get the phone.

            not great though, I agree.
