hello11 Should we just create a throwaway google account to get all of them ?
Yes.
hello11 Do people think we should move away from stores and centralized ways of getting apps ?
Not really, this is currently the situation we are in and it isn't particularly secure. Centralized stores are the most secure options.
hello11 Development seems slow.
The developers of Accrescent are not currently looking to get as many apps as possible on their store but rather focusing on more backend stuff like the developer experience and ensuring the app is stable. Give it time, it is still in pre-alpha.
hello11 I still don't really understand why the project doesn't recommend obtanium + appverifier for first install.
Although it is a solution that works, it is not convenient or easy for non-technical users.
hello11 Is this with or without appverifier ?
This is without app verifier.
hello11 Is appverifier verification inferior to accrescent ?
Accrescent automatically does what AppVerifier accomplishes rather than you having to do it manually. You also run into problems when the AppVerifier app database does not have the hash for an app you are installing, so you cannot verify it. The developer of AppVerifier has said that the database is planned to be depreciated once Accrescent becomes stable as there would be no point to using AppVerifier if you get all your apps from Accrescent anyway.
hello11 We shouldn't trust the appverifier database ?
You should trust it and use it whenever possible if you are installing apps from a source outside the Play Store or Accrescent.
hello11 Also, are the VPN leaks fully fixed ?
Not yet, there are a few leaks remaining.
