Google removes KDE Connect app installed via F-Droid

This past week, Google Play Protect removed KDE Connect from many users devices because it was installed via F-Droid. The developer tried for days to reach out to the support team at Google to get the issue fixed. You can follow their struggle here.

To learn more about this. please check out this article (in German, links to Reddit discussion in English).

Removed Apps

3 apps were removed

It is sad to report that Dash Electrum and Retroshare are no longer in the official F-Droid Repository.
But they’ll be the F-Droid Archive Repository for the foreseeable future.
The reason for this is that they are not maintained anymore and are affected by the libwebcp CVE vulnerability as we reported in last week’s TWIF.

Private Location was also removed as was no longer functioning and development has stopped years ago, as reported in #3096.

Newly Added Apps

2 apps were newly added

Updated Apps

86 apps were updated
