Is that based on the F-Droid version of SimpleX from the native F-Droid repository?

Ok, what about it? Are you expecting a specific reaction?

I can’t speak to that with a familiar level with the code, I can only presume or guess. All I will say is that is why I never install any app from Github or Gitlabs, because there is no third party verification of the code for releases on those sites.

I only use F-Droid after disabling all anti-features in Settings and then install apps that I know are 100% clean from all dependancies.

Download the SimpleX apk from F-Droid website and then run that to see what it says for any difference in the results.

It’s too bad that the F-Droid releases are far behind. I do not install from Github to prevent against proprietary dependancies.

The link for F-Droid security issues is goijg on 3 years old, have you looked at the code xhanges for F-Droid since then?

For using Obtainium, how do you avoid or block all apps from Github that depend on GCM, Firebase, or Google services? That’s wh I uae F-Droid and disable all anti-features so those apps are never listed, even if I search for an app that has Google dependancies, F-Droid will say that app does not exist or is not listed, as long as all anti-features is disabled.

I woud still like for you to do a scan on the FDroid SimpleX apk to verify the difference for yourself instead of whatever I say about it.

If Intel can’t pay their own bills from Intel’s money, they can be sold to a private company, file for chapter 11, or go out of business.

Anything released on Github has no code requirements or restrictions, that is why some people do reproducible builds of software, to verify is has 100% functionality of a binary release. Any app from F-Droid is repoducible.

I will take Intel being sold or going under over cronyism and corporate welfare.
