@protonprivacy Or even just having your own F-droid repro (in which case you're not bound to the F-droid rules, but at least users could download and keep track of updates without using the Google Play Store) π. That's bothering me much more than the app itself ever did. Counts for all your apps really (beside the ones already on F-droid ofc)... @protonprivacy looks good and Iβm glad the app is getting so much better on both iOS and Android. These Android folks clamoring for more βprivateβ store options are giving me a good laugh though. You all know what you signed up for. @protonprivacy Can one search content of emails yet, in the app? I have thousands and thousands of emails in my inbox and I canβt get by without content search, so it is what holds me back from switching.
