Feature description

Please add something akin to FreeDroidWarn, if not FreeDroidWarn itself to the app so users of your app may be informed if their installation method (or even, just a popular method) is likely to be dark-patterned.

Why do you want this feature?

As you may have been made aware by https://keepandroidopen.org/ google plans on making it much harder for users to install applications through F-Droid and Obtainium.

I'm aware this app is published both there and on the Play Store.

Additional information

From the Keep Android Open Website:

all apps from non-registered developers will be blocked once their lockdown goes into effect in 2027.

The workaround for installing an app by one of these developers is a 10-step process including a >24h waiting period.
