By September 2026 google will enforce app developers to register and prohibit side loading apps, see
https://keepandroidopen.org/
How will alternative Android operating systems like #iodeos or #graphene_os be impacted?
Will the anonymous loading of apps from e.g. Aurora Store still work?
Is it still possible to distribute free apps through F-Droid?

> Pixel with GrapheneOS
I like the intention of GrapheneOS to make a secure and privacy friendly OS.
But how much sense does it make to buy google HW for a de-googled OS?

> Even with reproducible builds + open source, the source code can be written in a way which deliberately masks a vulnerability in subtle ways.
This is what happened Easter 2024 with zx library in ssh.

> You're talking about backdoors where it's deliberately done and hidden.
I meansoftware quality in general and backdoors in particular.
> Closed source software still has the compiled code available for review, ...
Following this logic OSS wouldn't make any sense then, as users have always the binary code for execution and for review.

> Your belief that closed source software is a black box which cannot be externally reviewed is incorrect.
If the manufacturer allows it, it can be reviewed. If not, no way to review the source code. In this case only reverse engineering may help.
> Closed vs. open source doesn't work the way you believe it does. Closed source software means not having sources, not lacking the code.
I think that's no answer to the question.

It's correct that open source doesn't guarantee that all vulnerabilities are found.
But OSS can be reviewed by anybody at anytime, the developers cannot control by whom.
Closed source is sometimes also reviewed. But who prevents closed source developers of removing backdoor code just before a review and add it immediately afterwards again? Who selects the reviewers? It's all in the hands of the closed source manufacturer.
So how can anyone trust closed source?

iOS is closed source, so nobody will ever find any backdoors in the software, even if the hardware offers to implement a high level of security. Do I miss anything?

GrapheneOS decided to leave France because they would have to implement a backdoor for French authorities.
What about backdoors in #IodeOS as Iodé is a French company?

Thank you for the insights.
@iode
@gael
A statement regarding this thread would be appreciated as I tested #eos and am using #IodeOS for the moment.

Here another article that @npub1kwa…e0nj
decided to leave France:
https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/115611923320332112
Highly probably French authorities will also threaten other privacy oriented custom ROMs, like #e_OS and #IodeOS

@npub1ruf…fe5f
How do you avoid having to implement backdoors in your software?

@npub1xlm…0lay
@GrapheneOS is being threatened by French authorities for refusing to add backdoors:
https://goingdark.social/@watchfulcitizen/115605398411708768
How does #IodeOS as a French company deal with this threat?
