have you read the Inclusion Policy: Inclusion Policy | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository ? Also I think you need the permission of the author.

And for learning how to submit an app, you should at least know how to compile an app from source. Instruction for compiling a FOSS app is mostly found in the readme of that project or you can ask the dev.

No, not really.

Yes, read the policy, but beyond that just open an issue here: Issues · F-Droid / Requests For Packaging · GitLab

Yes, compiling the app with fdroidserver before hand helps… but it’s not a hard requirement

@fazlerabbi37 You don’t need the permission of the author(s). However it is good practice to notify the project.
