Question regarding compliance with F-Droid rules

F-Droid Forum [Unofficial] April 2, 2026

That is clear But the same DontKillMyApp and DroidStress are on F-Droid. My task is different. My mechanisms (in BackgroundWorkAround) are slightly different. I want to understand if it is possible to use such mechanisms in F-Droid, and therefore whether I can add such a library to my applications. For example, what about goAsync() + Thread.sleep(Long.MAX_VALUE) inside a receiver? And 10 wake locks for 3 seconds in a while true loop with a timeout of 0.33s? And what about sending a Broadcast to a static receiver every 7.5s and separating components into different processes? And is it allowed to perform mutual bind of services of one application in 2 different processes? And is it allowed to reset alarm every 30s? Therefore, I want to find out by trying to publish the BackgroundWorkAround applications on F-Droid.

On AOSP, there’s no need for such tricks, of course, but on MIUI, for example, it can be necessary.
