Official F-droid Repository
Hello,
It would be nice to have an official F-droid repo for all protonapps.
This way all apps would easily stay up-to-date without using the google playstore (or the aurore store)
Thanx for considering!

Yes! Let's go with f-droid. Need to remove reliance on g00gle.

protonmail on f-droid would be great (and somewhat "obvious to have")!!

I concur! I t would be great to see the protonmail app on f-droid. Or at least to have the apk availible on the website somewhere.

The ability to download ProtonMail and ProtonVPN independently of Google Play was a key factor in my decision to sign up with this service in 2017. This was made possible through the Crashlytics Beta program, but that ceased in Feb 2018.
Since then, we've been forced to use Google Play and I feel rather duped because it was a key factor in deciding to sign up with this service in the first place.

Hi. Could'nt you make the ProtonMail application availeble for us, who would prefer not to use Googles services?
Now I would need to use Google play to download the app, could it be done from somewhere else, like from F-Droid?
Thank you. -

I use replicant operating system and not android, for evident ethical and security reasons.
I don't want to use google play, because I'm against google and don't trust them.It will be very nice to put protonmail app in f-droid repository!

Yes this is super important, and could be very quick and easy to do.
I must agree with anonymous. Its really tough to trust Google. So many web servers depend on Google to stop bots accessing there websites, but Google's not-a-robot checker, discriminates against Tor browser users. I wonder how many people know that their website is unavailable to Tor users.

Very good suggestion. I would prefer download apk directly from Proton, as any outside website (especially of course G..gl.), tracls downloads and devices.
Thanks for great work! -

Even though APKs can be found in the wild, it would be nice to get it from a centralized and trusted source like F-Droid. Makes upgrading easier too...

Could you make the Proton Mail Android app available on F-Droid, Amazon or Aptoide stores? This way we wouldn't need to rely on Google's Playstore to download the app.

Bad idea due to security considerations (signing feautres etc.)

Since I completely distrust ANYthing google, I support the idea that the phone app versions should be available directly from protonmail.

You have to stop to need Google services

This would save me the effort of obtaining the app from online sites as I do not have google play services installed for a very good reason.

Add ProtonMail to F-Droid and make it work without google play services

Please make ProtonMail APK for F-Droid, because we love open source.

Can the mobile app be included in other trustworthy app repositories like the Amazon appstore or the F-droid one (open-source, I know but still...that's just to give you an idea)???
The Amazon appstore is the only valid appstore alternative to google services but sadly it still misses major apps like yours.
