You distribute the code without your key and a built package that is signed. This isn't exactly rocket science.

Anyone who forks the code will have to use their own key to install a package they built.

It's just unnecessary red tape.

It's just unnecessary red tape.

Which will reduce the number of people using foss apks, which will in turn, reduce the motivation, and then the number, of foss apk developers.

How will fdroid work

[-] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

Fdroid itself and every package they host will have to be signed.

Maybe there are still workarounds, like enabling dev mode on your phone, but still tedious.
