Welcome brothers and sisters, I really like foss apps and I cant imagine android without Fdroid, but lately I installed Fdroid on my new phone and play protect say - this app can be dangerous so he stopped installing apk. Of course I downloaded fdroid client from official site https://f-droid.org/ so it cant be something dirty there, anyway maybe play protect is supersensitive or something? or maybe I should use other client like droid-ify? - https://github.com/Droid-ify/client/releases or simply dont care and turn off play protect because its normal thing how he “fight” with fdroid. Thank you for helping with my paranoia.
This has not been my experience. I always turn on Play Protect but almost never recieve warnings about APKs. I install plenty of apps outside of the Play Store, even some sketchy ones. The only one that ever gave me a Play Protect warning is Lucky Patcher.
