So...what does this mean for those who have F-Droid or Aurora Store installed on their phones? Will apps from those stores be considered "unverified" by Google's standards?
Just a few days ago a friend showed me that play protect has marked Yet Another Call Blocker from F-droid as malicious on their phone.
It seems to only be specific apps with very specific permissions like call logs or SMS.
I recon aurora store should still work since it's providing the playstore stuff, just a bit more privacy friendly afaik.
