I skimmed the news, does anyone know if I already have Fdroid in an attempt to escape the custom apps lockdown, that I need to install this newest version or get locked down?

We are excited to begin rolling out F-Droid 2.0 to users over the coming weeks after 14 test releases.

No, the lockdown will happen regardless.

They will be blocked when you try installing them, yeah :/

Google's services will check on install of application, if it is verified. If I am not wrong. It fucking sucks.

Google's "escape hatch" is a trap door

Thank you

Seeing that the "advanced flow" is part of google play and not the android OS is such a fucking red flag. I assumed it would be part of the OS

I love Droidify so much I'd be kinda sad to let it go, but yes - this sounds great!

Yeah, droidify is what ive been using. I love the simplicity, though theres some occasional minor jank. We'll see where I decide to primarily stay, the new official f-droid app has felt great so far! ☺️
