I have installed Davx5 from F-Droid, from IzzyOnDroid Repo. Today I have checked for updates with the Google playstore and the App was updated to the playstore variant. I thought this isn't possible? What's going on here?

Izzydroid repo is using the dev signature, play store has an option to use the dev signature instead of Google signature. Same signature = update allowed

TIL there's an option to have Google sign an app. Seems a bit sketchy to me.
