Today I got this POP-UP, anyone?
Today I got this POP-UP, anyone?
Originally I've download the signal app through playstore, but often it also get updates from Droid-ify(Fdroid client). Today its weird and I got this . Explain to me this.
On the Droid-ify the signal app is provided by: org.thoughtcrimes.securesms
You're viewing a single thread.
Turn off Play "Protect".
In most cases I'd be the first to support your idea.
but here it actually blocked malware?
Didn't notice the "droid-ify" part, whatever that is. Install apps from trusted sources like F-Droid or dev's website and you don't need Google to scan your phone and tell you what you can or cannot install.
Droid-ify is just a different client for F-Droid. It should be safe and uses the same repositories
I really like droid-ify. Its a nice, good-looking alternative to fdroid. Also I'd advice to use molly foss instead of the original signal app.
Why?
Here what I replied to someone else:
Fully foss dependencies, degoogled (doesnt require Google Play services), and further hardening to the app. And you can still keep your signal contacts since it is just a fork. Available through Accressant, fdroid, and github.
They could have added their own repos which is the concern here.
Actually, it uses more repos
Signal isn't in the official Fdroid repos
I'm using droidify and couldn't find signal in there either.
Lol what are you talking about.
Droid-ify is an f-droid client, it's on f-droid too.
The question is, what repo did that apk come from. But I have a feeling OP will not bother with checking it
Don't, in this case it's actually blocking a fake app correctly.
