Begrudgingly dealing with the Android Developer Verification bs. Added the IzzyOnDroid/GitHub and F-Droid fingerprints for Catima to not have them blocked by Google. I submit them and... &quot;In review&quot;? What do you mean, &quot;In review&quot;. How about you let *me* choose which keys *I* sign *my own goddamn app* with? This shit is utterly disgusting. I have no words for it. Fuck Google. Fuck this &quot;developer verification&quot; lockdown. The EU needs to fine the shit out of them for this bullshit.

For others who have to deal with this nonsense, I've found the easiest way to get your fingerprint for your IzzyOnDroid and F-Droid builds to be the following curl command: ``` export INDEX_V2_URL="https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo/index-v2.json" # IzzyOnDroid export INDEX_V2_URL="https://f-droid.org/repo/index-v2.json" # F-Droid export APP_NAME="your.package.name" curl -s "${INDEX_V2_URL}" | jq -r ".packages.\"${APP_NAME}\".metadata.preferredSigner" | tr [:lower:] [:upper:] | sed 's/../&:/g; s/:$//' ```

@SylvieLorxu thanks for dealing with this shit on behalf of your apps' users! (had this exact f.u. moment when they started asking for ID verification one or two years ago 😑)
