Any idea why? I’ve been using it for months. I probably had to grant permission when I first installed it, but haven’t had to again since then, until just now.

Also, some of the time, when F-droid updates an app, the update just goes through. But other times I get a dialogue asking “do you want to update this app?”. It seems random. Any idea?

Phone is a Moto G5 Stylus 2023 and it recently got a security update from Motorola, but I think I’ve done some F-droid updates since then. However, this may be related.

The other possibility is that something might have happened to F-droid’s code signing credentials, e.g. someone messed with them? That thought is basically why I’m asking here.

    Look at the notes about the update. It will say what permissions have been changed. It is provably just the base android permissions have changed by adding a feature that has altered what your previous permissions were set at
