Snikket: Notes on the F-Droid security warning
Snikket Android users who installed the app via F-Droid may receive a warning
from F-Droid telling them that the app has a vulnerability and that they
“recommend uninstalling immediately”. First of all - don’t panic! This is a
over-simplified generic warning that is scary, but the actual situation is
not quite so scary and has an explanation. Here goes…

When an app is developed and ready for release, it must be compiled and built,
to produce the fina … ⌘ Read more
