Schedule for F-Droid (and/or direct download) release of the Android app about documents HOT 3 OPEN

The Android app currently depends on GAEN, which is proprietary, and, as such, the application can't be accepted on F-Droid.

Thank you for the prompt answer, and sorry for missing the previous discussion about F-Droid.

Would the same type of reason somehow prevent its diffusion via direct download from a government server? Are there any plans for that?

Of course, I am aware that this might generate additional work when it comes to maintenance of the app.

Let me start by warning you that I am not involved with DP-3T, while I'm replying to your questions :-)
There is nothing preventing the publishers of each app to put them on their own websites to download instead of having only the app in Google's Play Store. However, I suspect most people who do not have Google's Play Store also don't have GMS, without which the application won't work. More infor about that here: SwissCovid/swisscovid-app-android#59
