Ok, technically you’re right. You can still install apps from f-droid with any Android phone for now. The issue is more that most Android uses will not perform those steps so f-droid will not be able to reach them. People that are already using f-droid and understand what’s going on are fine (for now).
and two years later they’re gonna announce that according to their telemetry, not enough people are perfoming all those acrobatics to make maintaining it viable, and will close it off completely.
Exactly what I said.
Authenticate, wait, unlock indefinitely and then have fun.
Like I said. It’s only a matter of “how long” that will stay but it’s as of right now false information that it’s completely impossible to bypass it on stock android.
I am so confused about these changes, I thought I downloaded Jerboa through Fdroid. What does this message mean? The only option to continue using Jerboa is to root my phone?
Yes.
Edit: Appoxo is right, technically you can still use f-droid on any phone. Check my comment below.
Huh?
They stated that there will be a bypass and to just wait 24 hours until you can install APKs as usual. Permanently without additional cooldowns.
It’s another story how long this will stay but for now,your answer is false information.

Is this completely unrelated?
I means that to continue using Jerboa you will have to do what is described in my comment (the 9 step process).
