For almost two years, users searching for Organic Maps on F-Droid have been unable to install the app due to a bug (or due to someone's deliberate choice?).
Many users have reported this issue to us. They do not understand why it happens. The bug is still there, and F-Droid maintainers don't care: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/work_items/2850

No problem on searching, finding and installing on F-Droid.

Organic Maps is marked with attached security advice, so if users configure strict matching they probably can't proceed...

@manankanchu it works for you, because you have changed that setting.

BTW, F-Droid deliberately misinforms users by labeling Organic Maps as such:
1. Our binary files are free assets and can be used by anyone. They are under a FOSS license that requires proper attribution.
2. The fact that the app downloads its maps from the app's CDN does not make the app "bad".

But that's another story/narrative pushed towards OM by some of the F-Droid guys.

Let's focus now on the installation issue.

Nope .... vanilla install
