F-Droid website is currently down. We're working on a solution and hopefully have it running again soon. 🤞

Sometimes we get concerned inquiries about apps in #FDroid targeting old #android SDK versions. Targeting newer SDK versions does strengthen the sand-boxing, but it also breaks features used by apps. Google puts those kinds of restrictions in because users don’t trust proprietary apps, since most are constantly trying to steal user data. F-Droid reviews all apps from source to prevent that, so we don’t need to break features to gain privacy.

@fdroidorg I also believe it's a way for them to make the experience worse on the old Android versions.

Fragmentation isn't good, I know, but I don't want to sacrifice old devices just because Google said that old SDK is deprecated.

Do you check for supported/available #android ROMs before getting a new/refurbished phone?
