@IzzyOnDroid I think the #IzzySoftRepo is a good example of how a binary repo should be run: clear criteria for inclusion, good marking of Anti-Features, regular enforcement action, etc. Indeed @IzzyOnDroid caught the missing Anti-Features on the Guardian Project repo wth one of his scans. Thanks again!

There are even more repos around. For example, the #IzzySoftRepo repo exists since 2016. While being a "simple binary repo", it has good security measures implemented – detecting even things the scanners at @fdroidorg miss (and vice versa). Its inclusion criteria slightly differ from those at #FDroid so you'll find apps there which are not available at F-Droid. High transparency and interesting additional details. And more than 1,100 #apps. Give it a try! Read more at https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/info

#AndroidAppRain at https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid these days is rather an AndroidApp-Drain, as 10+ apps have been removed. More will probably follow the next days, details at https://gitlab.com/IzzyOnDroid/repo/-/issues/477

But on the good side: 14 apps updated yesterday, 11 today. The repo got a little slimmer, so you find the goodies easier (hopefully).

Hope you continue to enjoy your #free #Android #apps with the #IzzySoftRepo :awesome:


This is how "informed consent" is supposed to work – especially when it comes to self-updaters included with apps you get from the #IzzySoftRepo – or from @fdroidorg at that (both have a similar policy when it comes to self-updaters).

Tapping anywhere outside the popup will close it, so no "forced actions". And clear details on where the updated APK does come from.

Well done, RiMusic!

This is how it will look with the next release:


#AndroidAppRain at https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid today with 4 updated and 1 added apps:

* Stundenplan: Untis-Stundenplan übersichtlich anzeigen (yeah, a German one: "View your Untis timetable clearly")

And now you can find some background on the SigningBlock BLOBs on the #IzzySoftRepo info page (https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/info#signingblock) as well.

The last task of this „additional APK checks project“ will be to link to the corresponding blocks from where they are reported with an app, so you can find it more easily.

#Android #apps #transparency


Oh, PS: went through all the metadata of the apps in the #IzzySoftRepo for a little cleanup. Some apps were removed (no updates for years and longer working, having accumulated too many nonfree libs etc).

And also: wherever an app has an AntiFeature, their descriptions have been updated, partially improved – and are now always available in 🇩🇪 **and** 🇺🇸 !

Project #Transparency continues :awesome:

Oh, and just in case you wanted to know that as well: at #FDroid there were 104 updated and 9 added apps. Details in the next toot.


All APKs (~2.000) of the #IzzySoftRepo have been rescanned. Expect to see more details on most apps with the next sync. Teaser Image below.

While permissions already have a short description on hover (and link to more), something similar still needs to be implemented for the other sections, though. And of course a proper documentation…

Coming next: Making "App Configuration & Special Access" transparent at the #IzzySoftRepo (for background, again see https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/info#manifest). This will be rolled out this weekend, and once more will not be shown for all apps at once. At the moment, it will only show what has been checked when it came up with a current check, so "warnings" should be very rare. Next step is to record those things automatically to show even the things not yet added to the app's configuration here.

I've already told you about the additional APK checks now performed in my repo, and that you can find the first summary of explanations in the repo info (https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/info#manifest).

Now the results of those checks on app permissions are being made transparent to you if you expand the permission section for an app. Not seen in the screenshots: on mouseover you now will get a short explanation for each permission.

#IzzySoftRepo


You asked yourself of any side-effects the additional APK-checks at https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid might have? Let me show you one. Not all #apps have that yet, but it will be added one-by-one in the #IzzySoftRepo

When the scanner highlights some sensitive #permissions, they are checked for whether they are justified (I reach out to the corresponding devs where unsure). Those are then added to the app's allow-list, with an explanation. So why not make that explanation visible to you? That's done now:
