Will there ever be an F-Droid App for iOS?

I don’t think iOS has great support for sideloading apps, so any such project would inherently always be at the mercy of apple. I highly doubt anyone involved here has any interest in developing for the iOS platform but we’re certainly not trying to stop someone else from taking the f-droid model a…

[image] Bubu: I don’t think iOS has great support for sideloading apps, so any such project would inherently always be at the mercy of apple. Is it correct that all the iOS alternatives to the App store are basically dependent on safari or webkit? So, it is not possible to make something lik…

As I understand the problem, it’s not so much that there are dependencies on Apple’s software as it is that iOS’s ability to install unapproved apps is about the same as the worst-case for Android: No apps that aren’t from Apple’s App Store can be installed without “jailbreaking” (roughly equivalent…

DRM in all apps?

Ok, a “straighter” answer : If Google takes this step (i.e., adding DRM-type metadata header) to police apps not installed directly from GPlay to prevent piracy/security issues, this lack of header would also affect any app that is installed, e.g., via Unknown Sources (were y’all aware of the ruckus re: the Exodus privacy app, F-Droid vs GPlay releases which seems ☐ly in this category?) Now, if Google chooses to enforce (really, a tiny step: the infrastructure after the above is accom…
