I did not claim otherwise.
The thread creator asked for sources of apps and I shared my experiences.
Nothing more.

BTW: I will also test Accrescent, which now seems to be the best solution. ;-)

As for F-Droid, (privsec.dev) does have a published article that is a bit dated, but insightful:

Thank you for this tip, but after long time searching Accrescent's SHA-256 signing certificate hash I found only the one on their website (FAQ) and on their GitHub page, which doesn't fit to the hash of their app!

Website/GitHub: 067a40c4193aad51ac87f9ddfdebb15e24a1850babfa4821c28c5c25c3fdc071
Real App hash: 51d729972416d57c4548d45954489e16e3bfb4125608f3aa69df138db520bb45

Eagle_Owl one moment please, I'll mention it to the developer now.

Eagle_Owl 067a40c4193aad51ac87f9ddfdebb15e24a1850babfa4821c28c5c25c3fdc071 is the correct hash. Where did you download the app from, and more importantly, how are you checking it?

Something tells me you're looking at the wrong thing.

Thanks for your fast answerings!

I have used the download link on the website of Accrescent: https://accrescent.app/accrescent.apk
Then I have tested the hash (as always) with the app Hash Droid (v4.3).

Eagle_Owl Download this app from the GitHub Releases page and try the APK there. This app will give you the hash of the signing certificate, which is what you need to be checking, not the hash of the file:

https://github.com/soupslurpr/AppVerifier

Sorry, but there is mentioned:
DO NOT use AppVerifier to verify itself!
Also DO NOT use AppVerifier to verify Accrescent if you downloaded AppVerifier from it.

~~And there is no download link for the Accrescent app on GitHub (can't find it).~~
In the meantime I have made a second search on GitHub and have finally found the right page, where the download link is. :-)
And there is the hash. And it fits to the hash of the downloaded file named accrescent-0.17.0.apk :)

Eagle_Owl It says "Also DO NOT use AppVerifier to verify Accrescent if you downloaded AppVerifier from it."

I suggested getting AppVerifier from GitHub, not from Accrescent:

https://github.com/soupslurpr/AppVerifier/releases
https://github.com/accrescent/accrescent/releases

Eagle_Owl And there is no download link for the Accrescent app on GitHub (can't find it).

Yes, there is. https://github.com/accrescent/accrescent/releases

ErnestThornhill The APK download was previously missing from the latest release. It's been uploaded now.

ErnestThornhill

lberrymage Okay.

having a heck of a rime right now. My graphene OS suddenly says my proton email does not exist

Do you mean, the app doesn't exist anymore on your device or do you have an issue to login?
If it is the first, then maybe you have deactivated the ProtonMail app accidentally?
Then it would also disappear from the home screen…
The easiest solution would be to download the App Store app that was used to install the Proton app and then request "Settings". The app info will then be visible again, where you can tap "Activate".
This is how it works with Neo Store. And maybe the same with your app source, whatever it is.
Otherwise, only reinstalling will help.
