For those attending #FOSDEM and interested in the topic: make sure to attend Marc's talk "Fear and Loathing in the App Stores: when FLOSS principles collide with the Gatekeeper interests" (fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event…), which covers this topic. We will be there, and also be ready to answer questions.
Of course we can also be found at our stand in UD2-02 😉
Big thanks to @marcprux from the @fdroidorg board for picking this up!

Friendly reminder of why #Google is just plain evil: they've taking down #IzzyOnDroid (a third party Open Source Android "app store" like #FDroid) *twice* in the past 30 days over false positive malware scanning.
We are receiving reports that Google flags our repo as "having dangerous apps" or being a "dangerous site" – texts being very vague, no proof given (nor did they inform us). They also link to a page they call "Transparency Report" – which is of the same vagueness, but definitely not transparent (transparencyreport.google.com/…)
We're not aware of any such dangerous content. All apps on our repo are properly scanned, see izzyondroid.org/about/security…
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…

Catima is a simple app for store discount cards, event tickets and more.
This release fixes a regression introduced in 2.41.5 causing the manual barcode selection screen to only show empty squares and makes URLs in card IDs clickable in the "more info" pop up.
We've updated the configuration on our Liberapay – which was unintentionally set to "anonymous donations only". You can now choose to have your support shown, if you wish so 🤗
Apologies for the mishap!
And thanks to the first supporter 🥰 Yes: if everyone who uses #IzzyOnDroid would chime in a buck per month, we'd be fully sustainable…
The IzzyOnDroid team maintains the repository for F/LOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) Android apps launched by Izzy in 2015/2016, which has since become quite well-known …
(as for his comment on not knowing about our security: did he really miss that link on the web page he's showing? So head to izzyondroid.org/about/security… for that part 😉)
Seems this video was made just before #Droidify launched 0.6.8 with download counts, so it calls download stats as #NeoStore-exclusive, but oh well, still cool :)

This toot comes delayed as a lot of RBs failed today. Luckily we were able to fix most of them already; for the remaining ones, issues are open with the corresponding devs.

Very excited to see #Droidify implement the #IzzyOnDroid download statistics!
This means 2 out of the top 3 #FDroid clients now show download statistics for apps downloaded from IzzyOnDroid. Hopefully this convinces more repositories to adopt this!
The part I love most is the different directions Droidify and Neo Store took it. Droid-ify went for simple, just showing the total amount of downloads, while Neo Store went for detailed graph.
(1/2) We are happy to announce a new milestone for transparency in #IzzyOnDroid: public metadata
Starting today, all info on all IzzyOnDroid apps is now publicly available on Codeberg in our new metadata repository: codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/repod…
You can now submit your updates to listed apps (e.g. AuthorName, links) directly via PRs – and we're looking forward to your contributions! We're now working on updating our documentation, to help you with this. Stay tuned!

Catima is a simple Android app to store event tickets/plane tickets/store discount codes and more in.
Version 2.41.5 is the last iteration of the barcode encoding feature. It removes automatic encoding in favour of deciding encoding once on adding a card (extracted from pkpass files, otherwise ISO-8859-1) and then sticking with that. It also fixes some other bugs.
Fix list widget sometimes opening wrong card
Fix several bugs with shortcut handling
Fix About activity not using pure black title bar in OLED mode
Fully remove automatic barcode encoding detection...

If you need to reach out to us, you should find the necessary details there. Other already staged changes went live right along, e.g. our updated schedules page at
#IzzyOnDroid is about community. That's why we don't want our #FOSDEM visit to be just about us, but also about all the amazing apps that make IzzyOnDroid so great.
Do you have an app that's available on IzzyOnDroid? Bring some stickers with you to FOSDEM and drop them off at our booth! We'll make sure to display them so your users can pick some up!
I decided to just quickly release 2.41.4 and disable the automatic barcode encoding detection for now. Breaking Deutschlandticket is definitely one of the worst things that could have happened and I don't want people to get stranded in Germany.
Should you attend FOSDEM this year, make sure to drop by our stand – and maybe also listen to our talks I've just updated the news post at our OpenCollective with details for you, see opencollective.com/izzyondroid…
At our stand, you will find us (with stickers), @SylvieLorxu (the Cat Ima!) also with Catima stickers, @electrikjesus with Bliss goodies, and our friends from @shiftphones with their goodies.
The barcode encoding feature added in Catima 2.41.0 caused a very minor change in how barcodes where generated, which for some users led to failures to use their cards (github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…). This is now fixed by slightly changing how automatic mode works.
QR code card added to Catima prior to v2.41, referring to https://xtra.colruytgroup.be/xtra/qr/961198520459603760316514. Was working fine until v2.40.x (scanned OK at the cash desk) Using v2.41.1, ...

However, I figured, if I go there, why not order some #Catima stickers. After all, Catima is an app available on IzzyOnDroid :) They just came in and they look nice :)
Make sure to ping me at FOSDEM or visit the IzzyOnDroid stand to get one!
2025 had ups and downs, but I loved my 2025 at #IzzyOnDroid.
Our team has grown with several new members and we launched izzyondroid.org/, our new web home!
We even got our first grant ever (thanks, @nlnet!), allowing us to bring download statistics to IzzyOnDroid and integrate it directly into #NeoStore (and soon #Droidify), improve the #ReproducibleBuild system and more.
I'm grateful to the team for giving me a space where I feel able to make a difference ❤️
