Source code is needed, not only APKs, F-Droid needs to build the app from that source code and its fully open source dependencies

Yes, you can use Github, Gitlab, Codeberg or your own hosted git instance.

@Licaon_Kter Hey

So i need to invite u to our gitlab, there I need to invite u over mail.
We want to make sure to keep the source private and also not to maintain it also over github.

where can i find the official mail to invite the contributor to our gitlab ?

Nope, F-Droid builds only free and open-source apps, all the code needs to be available, no secret repos, no missing source code, no non-free dependencies.

Eg. F-Droid | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository see below

Version 1.14-alpha0 (1014000) - Added on 2021-09-01
This version requires Android 5.1 or newer.
It is built and signed by F-Droid, and guaranteed to correspond to this source tarball.
…
Download APK 7.9 MiB PGP Signature | Build Log

If you can’t provide that, you can still build your app locally with fdroidserver and host an F-Droid repository that users can add to their F-Droid client. But… we can’t add your app to the main F-Droid repo.

Eg. Add the NewPipe repository to F-Droid or https://metatransapps.com/fdroid/repo/
