The Android ecosystem is very sensitive to these things. If you try to install any APK that’s not from the Play store you’ll get a similar warning. Especially for apps that want to be able to install other apps. You just have to attest that after it is good. And then everything should be fine. Once you give afterwards the proper permissions.
This has not been my experience. I always turn on Play Protect but almost never recieve warnings about APKs. I install plenty of apps outside of the Play Store, even some sketchy ones. The only one that ever gave me a Play Protect warning is Lucky Patcher.
Dude no no you won’t. You absolutely won’t get a warning for any APK you install. You actually won’t get a warning for most. As I have said on my other comment the fdroid gets a warning because of an SDK issue. And it’s known https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/issues/2605
If you don’t know something don’t comment. Stop spreading misinformation
I thought I knew something, thank you for the correction.
This is what I see when I try to install fdroid APK directly. Android 13
That’s something else. That just means that whatever app you used to open and install the apk doesn’t have the permission to do so yet.
Actually seems like in this case the global “allow unknown sources” setting is still disabled on your phone, not the app’s permission. But you will see this dialogue if the app you’re installing from doesn’t have permission as well.
