What do you mean? Isn’t this desired behavior? If I install an app from f-droid, its updates also come from f-droid and I don’t want google to touch it or take over the installation.
Not necessarily - I use Aurora store (without Google login) to install apps, and now apps have a method of validating which store installed them. Which is dogshit since it’s the same APK running on my device.
Said apps can now block usage if they detect they have not been installed using “approved methods” which is my take on OP’s post.
For apps I install with F-droid or Obtainium, this is usually not an issue since those apps don’t enforce stupid rules.
Edit: I should point out that this is 100% related to Google’s upcoming (hopefully not…) enforcement of “no third party app installations” - this is the exact method they will use to block access to these applications.
It has been already for a while. I have not been able to use the fucking door app in an office building since last year and recently found a moonboard (bouldering) app has the same ridiculous requirement
Yeah it’s fucking stupid. Fuck Google and the fuckknuckle changes they are making to restrict our devices, in the name of “security”. Not a happy camper.
