Google is taking more and more the direction of apple's sandbox policy. I can confirm there is no issue installing it in Graphene. But hey, that popup might be right. Anything you install is potentially harmful. Don't thrust, verify https://github.com/RoboSats/robosats

Unfortunately, we have to trust somebody at some point making an app open-source is not equal to secure by default. We need to wait until many people of reputation actually audit the code. nostr:nevent1qqsv7mcfz373y46ca8tdtxccaet0aehsyzxftg308mjq2a9jf9smjqqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgsxg45ph8gx0vdrvtzta6xal7v86frx6jvstsnvhrlvtehmwwh4epqrqsqqqqqpg9ugy6

Installing through nostr:nprofile1qqs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0h3gy93 I had this warning for Amber too, but not for Citrine... 🙄 https://image.nostr.build/079b2e82cd71351ba02f7839d5e2eac861b2d3d577dedfa0afc4394e562bb9f2.jpg

It gives this warning when I install through obtainium. Play protect is a system service, like an antivirus kind of. It works regardless of the install source. It uninstalled robosats without asking me prior to this.

I also use GrapheneOS, but isn't this the whole point of Play Protect? I'm assuming it was installed outside of Google Play, which is likely a red flag to this software. The average user probably is better off with this behavior. Although, users should be able to disable if they can't already.

They are probably using certain flags to determine potential or likely maliciousness. I doubt this is as insidious as some of you are making it. Don't use Play Protect if this is really that big of a problem. Systems like this will never be perfect in a world with so many applications and bad actors. Some good software will inevitably be caught up in the net like this.

I didn't say it was harmful. The more important question is why use Play Protect at all if your philosophy is that any app you allow to be installed is safe and should therefore remain? Things like PP aren't designed for people who know what they're doing. It's a lowest common denominator system designed to technological morons who may be tricked into installing things outside of Play. I'm merely speculating that RS could be meeting some arbitrary standard that unsafe apps commonly meet in the eyes of Google. Google can't be expected to analyze every app closely after every update to avoid ever having a false positive. It's much easier to just play it safe and remove apps that don't meet their definition of safe. Like it or not, a Bitcoin trading app installed outside of Play probably isn't something their average users are installing. I've also stated that users SHOULD be able to disable this if they really want to. This default behaviour probably is safer for the average stock Android user, even if some apps end up getting falsely accused and removed. Even being advanced enough to discuss this issue indicates that you just shouldn't use systems like that in the first place. It wasn't made for people like us.

I have it installed outside of Playstore using zap.store No issues yet, but I also disabled Playstore. I haven't paid of my phone yet, so I can't DeGoogle it, and I gave all my DeGoogled phones to my kids to protect them.

Great ad for GrapheneOS, iodèOS and similar. nostr:nevent1qqsq4v0psr6fc85dw7rq9fw6rkt4arv9gyct0w3tjk498d8umjv6q8sppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgsda2memtapc2lykjnd8t9px4ake2stw39lg6k49xj6u3jz3pteu6qrqsqqqqqpu9aqh0
