Google is now marking EVERY SINGLE APK at our repository as "Malware site issue". Congrats, "Safe" browsing.
Of course there is not a single malware there, everything is scanned multiple times. And I bet they excluded *.google.com from their scan or the entire PlayStore would be red by now, too…
Calling out to all of you: Please use safebrowsing.google.com/safebr… to report the links as "safe"!
apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo/co… is the one console reports.

in reply to murks • • •@murks The console points to apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo/co… – which at our last check (see floss.social/@IzzyOnDroid/1159…) was reported clean even by their own scanner.
And this time they not only MARK it as POTENTIALLY malicious – they block the entire site. So if you have a browser with "SafeBrowsing" enabled, you cannot download a single APK.

in reply to leandro • • •apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo/com.apkupdater_52.apk. But right now every single .apk link under
https://
apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo/ is blocked, almost 1300 safe, scanned, open source apps :(

in reply to Thomas • • •@thomas Thanks for checking!
It also doesn't make it better that they do not tell us WHICH files are affected and WHY. Their console just gives a single example (the linked APK), and says "go figure yourself".
And isn't it funny that the APK triggering this insane BS is an APK downloader? What was that with "allowing alternative app stores" (even Droid-ify is blocked now)? And the crap with "developer registration"? One ring to rule them all?!?

in reply to Bill • • •@Sempf even their own ones, I guess – like "back then"? support.google.com/webmasters/…
Yeah, nice description: "spam service". Pun intended? Most spam (or should I say: scam?) I see here nowadays is hosted at storage.googleapis.com. But yeah, tell us whom to trust…
Would be interesting to know who else is affected. Only us with the APKs – or e.g. ApkPure (which copies the APKs from PlayStore) as well? 🤔

Unknown parent • • •@sousse Thanks! Let's hope we're shaking something loose there – and that it's just a quirk at their end, which they quickly fix, removing those unwarranted blocks and red pages.
I doubt they'll ever apologize for the mess they caused there. Wish they'd surprise me positively once. Like, "as reparation, we've filled your OpenCollective with a (6+ digit) sum" (that would even come out of their "petty cash")… Well, one can dream, right? *Sigh…*

in reply to ahills • • •@ahills Heard that the second time now. And getting more reports that their entire "spam service" (haha, yeah) seems to have gone nuts – like, marking each and every incoming mail as "spam".
So much about that "internet police". Which – by their PR – is the only one you can trust…
