Have you heard about #ReproducibleBuilds? This is one of the biggest #security benefits of #FOSS. On #Android, this technique ensures that the #FDroid version of an app exactly matches the developer's version.
Read our article below for more details and to see how easy it is for developers to get set up:

@fdroidorg #ReproducibleBuilds are good but you should consider #BootstrappableBuilds that are even better.
@stikonas Bootstarpable builds are about building tool chains. Reproducible builds are about building applications. While the names of those concepts sound somewhat similar, they're not really related. F-Droids focus is building apps, not tool-chains.
On a side note: F-Droid has been asking both the community and Google to provide FOSS builds of the Android SDK for years. (That's where bootstrapable builds would have to be implemented.) Sofar nobody answered that call.
