So I am trying to get into these OSes like Graphene, Callyx, e OS…etc. If need be, I will try to de Google the phone too. Anyway, I understand that you can install apps using stores like Amazo, Fdroid, Acrescent, Aurora…etc, instead of relying on Google Play Store.

If an app I need relies on Play Store, then so be it; I think OS like Graphene allows you to run a profile with Google Play stuff?

Otherwise, I can just use apps from Fdroid, Aurora…etc. Say I have Firefox installed from Fdroid and it requires a serious security update, which store will get the update first: the Play Store or they come at the same time even to Fdroid?

Or I am a dev and I need to send an update for my app, where do I send it first?

Any developer who makes apps worth using will push releases to their git repo first. The release will then trickle through the various app stores release processes, which might be automated or manual.

If they push to a public git repo, then you can skip all the app stores and just use something like obtainium to download release when they are available.

In some cases, apps are only released in git and not placed in any store.
