Publish all Android APK to FDroid
As well as the Proton VPN APK being published to FDroid it would be helpful if all the application (Mail, Calendar, Pass, etc) APKs were posted there as well.

The publication of apk's is highly inconsistent. Some only appear on protonapps.com (Calendar, Drive, Wallet), some only on google play (Authenticator, Lumo), some both on protonapps and on f-droid (VPN, Pass), some on protonapps and github (Mail, VPN). Please make this consistent.
Those of us on GrapheneOS often use Obtainium for .apk's. With Obtainium, the following solutions work:
(1) include the version number on the protonapps page, so we can identify when the app needs to be updated. Automated or no, right now we can't tell. It would work just as well if the version number were included in the .apk URL. Note this request:

https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/945460-general-ideas/suggestions/48103700-include-android-apks-in-all-github-releases(3) publish everything to f-droid, which is this request. This is not optimal unless you're doing reproducible builds and keeping your own keys.

There is a much higher-voted request for this here:
So don't forget to vote on that one too!

That would be great. That was talk here if you want a quick answer from Proton:

Proton needs to set up its own FDroid repo. Uploading to FDroid per se is not necessary; setting up their own repo is better. https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Setup_an_F-Droid_App_Repo/

Please post Proton Calendar APK or put on FDROID for those of us who use proton applications because we don't want to use google or apple.
