Previously two trackers were introduced: Google Firebase and Microsoft AppCrashes

If the app is hosted at its own F-Droid repository, devs can add whatever they want. I wouldn't be surprised if that build is the exact same one as the Play Store one.

Nevertheless, good step for users! I wonder how devs will get crash reports and such stuff now, though...
