Got to love how Google Play blocked the version 12 update to Auditor for somehow violating their family policies because I set it as valid for all ages. I guess I need to mark it as 18+ to push out an update. I think it's due to not having a feature graphic for the store header.

That's not a solution to the problem. The whole point of publishing it via Google Play is to make it accessible to people using the stock OS on most Android devices with Google Play. There are existing users via the Play Store that need the latest version pushed out to them too.

Having people install F-Droid, allow it to install apps in Settings and then enable a custom repository would be ridiculously inaccessible. It would also be an inferior way of distributing it to people on devices with Google Play. It's for people running their device's stock OS.

Ah yes, I totally agree, it's just that I was looking under F-froid. But It could be cool later.

It would make sense for it to be in the official F-Droid repository but they would need to be willing to distribute the official releases of the app since an unofficial build won't be compatible with official releases of the app or the attestation.app AttestationServer.

It chains trust to the app from the hardware through the verified OS in order to provide meaningful software-based checks. An unofficial build will have the wrong signing key and the attestations it produces won't pass verification in either the app or the server version of it.
