When you release an app using the Nostr protocol, clients like Zapstore grab the app directly from GitHub, GitLab or whatever platform the developer uses, bypassing the need for repositories.
That's why you run a different fork of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), which most of us privacy advocates as well, such as GrapheneOS or LineageOS.
I've started using the Zapstore app store being built by the Nostr community. Zapstore is an app built around empowering developers to release and sign apps over the Nostr protocol without having to get permission from any app store or any other entity such as a tyrannical goveenment
F-Droid could release apps over the Nostr protocol, using their own Nostr ckient, and bypass Google completely.

Zapstore is only a client that grabs Nostr events from Nostr relays and displays the "app release" events.
Any Nostr client could display those events.
You grab Zapstore from their website or GitHub, just like you do F-Droid.

Lineage runs on a zillionolder older inexpensive phones.
If they can't figure somethjng out, then that's on them. I honestly don't care about zombie sheeple like them. They deserve what they get.

Why ask Goggle's permission?
