I have installed Davx5 from F-Droid, from IzzyOnDroid Repo. Today I have checked for updates with the Google playstore and the App was updated to the playstore variant. I thought this isn't possible? What's going on here?

All of my apps that are downloaded not from the Aurora store can be updated via Aurora. I have to blacklist them in Aurora so I don't accidentally update them there. Many applications offer their "pro" versions for free in fdroid or just on Github and it's up to you to choose to donate or not. OSM And~, Retro Music, Lemuroid, Notesnook, Voyager, Quillpad, FUTO Voice Input are all from Fdroid and I've needed to blacklist them. Even BlueWallet downloaded via Obtanium from Github is recognized in Aurora.
