        # F-Droid Client

[![build status](https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/badges/master/pipeline.svg)](https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/jobs)

[![Translation status](https://hosted.weblate.org/widgets/f-droid/-/svg-badge.svg)](https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/f-droid/)

Client for [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org), the Free Software repository system

for Android.

## Building with Gradle

    ./gradlew assembleRelease

## Direct download

You can [download the application](https://f-droid.org/F-Droid.apk) directly

from our site or [browse it in the repo](https://f-droid.org/app/org.fdroid.fdroid).

## Libraries

Core F-Droid functionality is split into re-usable libraries

to make using F-Droid technology in your own projects as easy as possible.

[More information about libraries](libs/README.md)

## Contributing

See our [Contributing doc](CONTRIBUTING.md) for information on how to report

issues, translate the app into your language or help with development.

## IRC

We are on `#fdroid` and `#fdroid-dev` on OFTC. We hold weekly dev meetings

on `#fdroid-dev` on Thursdays at 11:30h UTC, which usually last half an hour.

## FAQ

* Why does F-Droid require "Unknown Sources" to install apps by default?

Because a regular Android app cannot act as a package manager on its

own. To do so, it would require system privileges (see below), similar

to what Google Play does.

* Can I avoid enabling "Unknown Sources" by installing F-Droid as a

  privileged system app?

This used to be the case, but no longer is. Now the [Privileged

Extension](https://gitlab.com/fdroid/privileged-extension) is the one that should be placed in

the system. It can be bundled with a ROM or installed via a zip.
