Where do Apps Come From?

@Manoj is there any update on the upcoming site update/application source clarification? I don’t like to be that guy but the team is well past the ETA and the adjusted ETA we were promised and I am losing patience. Surely the answer is simple enough to state since I am assuming the /e/ team coded the “Apps” app themselves.

I hope you can understand how the silence comes across poorly and doesn’t put /e/ in the best light. I am anxiously awaiting the release of /e/ out of beta but it’s hard to get fully behind a project with this lack of transparency. I thought /e/ was supposed to have better ethics than Google? I also don’t want to shift my whole digital world to your platform if Google can slap you down because you are illegally distributing apks.

In the interest of fairness and transparency can you please explain where the closed source apps in your ‘Apps’ store are coming from.
