In an optimal world, all apps were reproducible https://f-droid.org/docs/Reproducible_Builds/ , but which apps are actually reproducible? How can I know and check?

(I don't mean how to reproduce the build but how to check for the info that it's reproducible?)

Wow. It's a very good point that fdroid can still produce reproducible builds but with their own keys instead of the developers. That had not crossed my mind. As you can see in the following links, fdroid did not do that.

I just remembered an article that I've read. https://f-droid.org/2023/01/15/towards-a-reproducible-fdroid.html

Most importantly, they provide a link https://gitlab.com/obfusk/fdroid-misc-scripts/-/blob/master/reproducible/overview.md to all reproducible builds

Oh my bad, I had a misconception there too then, thanks for finding the article! I guess it's a work in progress for now
