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.

      I thought I knew something, thank you for the correction.

      This is what I see when I try to install fdroid APK directly. Android 13

        That’s something else. That just means that whatever app you used to open and install the apk doesn’t have the permission to do so yet.

          Actually seems like in this case the global “allow unknown sources” setting is still disabled on your phone, not the app’s permission. But you will see this dialogue if the app you’re installing from doesn’t have permission as well.
