I'm starting to detect the breakdown of what Google has done when it comes down to authentication of programmers for its Android platform

I needed to patch a very small program through fDroid KDE connect
When I proceeded with install, Google Play popped up a bogus requester stating that the program is malicious.

It's not malicious it's an Open Source program

I proceeded with install anyway for which I had to put in my phone's password. Google Play decided to block me from updating the program. I proceeded with this 16 times and got the same result.

I have to check what happens on my other Androids, however on this Android, a small one, I cannot update kdeconnect anymore, because the Play Store actively blocks it even when I override it with install anyway.

KDE connect was installed via fDroid

I have the right to install any program I want, on my device.

I paid for it!

Google cannot dictate me what to do

I shall fight this

I'm going to be a bold here and predict that THERE WILL BE NO CATASTROPHIC EARTHQUAKE IN JAPAN TODAY. Maybe some shakes and tremors but nothing worth cancelling a trip over.

I'd gladly bet on it. If I'm wrong, I won't be around to pay up😉
