@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.

@organicmaps @manankanchu 1. Which license are the compiled binary files available under? Is it a case of "open" but not "free" (as in freedom)? 2. I agree it doesn't make it "bad" but that's not what the label says : ) Still, you should be able to solve this easily if you want by letting people use a different server/cdn. You don't have to agree with it as I'm sure you don't agree with all Google Play and Apple Store rules.
