@stonebear2@hachyderm.io No. Apps on Android are probably 90+% Google code by volume, because of the number of Google-supplied libraries used. For example (because I have it to hand), the F-Droid app on Android still contains a lot of Google code. If you look at https://github.com/f-droid/fdroidclient/blob/master/gradle/libs.versions.toml and search for: - "androidx." - "com.google." you'll see all the Google libraries the F-Droid app uses. This is entirely normal for Android development (the equivalent file for Pachli is https://github.com/pachli/pachli-android/blob/main/gradle/libs.versions.toml)
