Previously two trackers were introduced: Google Firebase and Microsoft AppCrashes

Why were there trackers initially?

    It's normal to track crashes and utilization to make software better, I don't think they tracked to sell data for advertising in bitwarden case

    That's great news indeed!

    Now if they could consider implementing some sort of sorting and more advanced filtering that would be a huge plus, along with dupe control

    If the app is hosted at its own F-Droid repository, devs can add whatever they want. I wouldn't be surprised if that build is the exact same one as the Play Store one.

    Nevertheless, good step for users! I wonder how devs will get crash reports and such stuff now, though...

    Just checked F-Droid and nothing popped up. Is it coming this way? Great if it does!

    How? For 2023.10.0 appmanager's scanner does not show any of those, and it is usually very through (even right now it has identified 54 programming libraries)

    My F-Droid download keeps failing the hash check.
