Several FOSS apps of mine were removed from Google Play because of this. I wrote about one solution for other affected developers here: https://rocket9labs.com/post/on-the-importance-of-f-droid/

I've seen a YC startup post for the same back-end job for a year now. I admit that I did not apply, but it doesn't look that unappealing.
