Source?



AppStore and PlayStore are not open source, so you trust the distribution mechanism, is what I think parent wanted to say.


But you don't need to install them via their store. Also, you can always check the hash code of the binary.


I'm not sure about that. But true, in that case only the fact that's not open source is still in the way of me giving it my "baseline safe" approval. :)
