Could you build this?
Partial A basic Kotlin Multiplatform client is vibe-codeable, but robust APK parsing, index decryption, cryptographic package signature verification, and OS-level package management require specialized systems knowledge.
What it would actually take: The app requires Kotlin Multiplatform (Compose Multiplatform), parsing F-Droid's signed repo index XML/JAR formats, implementing cryptographic APK v1/v2/v3 signature checks using BouncyCastle, and interacting with Android's PackageInstaller API and desktop installation daemons.
