@fdroidorg I've helped someone set up F-Droid Basic on their still Googled device. Do you know why the "manage app" setting is greyed out in Android? Does that mean that Android will forcefully remove #FDroid's permissions if not opened in a while?

Also, fully automatic update installation does not appear to be working? I think it used to work in the past...?

@opensourceopenmind We don't know how every OEM sets Android features. But do note that F-Droid needs no extra permission to function. Just make sure that battery optimisations is not enabled as this setting is usually at fault for missing updates.

@fdroidorg It's a Pixel with stock ROM, not my own. Yes battery optimisation is turned off, and the app is even opened occasionally. There were about a dozen updates. I did not install; check manually a few days later if auto-update worked, and it hadn't. Even turned on update on data!

The battery permission is what I was worried Google would just forcefully reset.

@opensourceopenmind Did you set a frequent update interval? 1 day? Less?

@fdroidorg
I think I have heard about you first time 10-13 years ago. I was on a trip with a friend in a rural area and he used a map software and I asked him where he did get from and he said from f-droid. I couldn't really understand what he meant by that back then but after some searching I figured out there's a open source store with open source apps. What a relief as Linux user. Thanks!
