Yalp/F-Droid / system apps non-update
(Issue title)
Yalp/F-Droid / system apps non-update
Summary
When Yalp and/or F-Droid are installed, they show updates to apps that are system apps in /e/ such as QKSMS, Tasks, Telegram and (Fake) Google Play Store. They cannot be updated. As such, this behaviour makes perfectly sense, and it is not a bug, but it is likely to cause trouble to less expertienced users. I believe many people will install Yalp to access already paid apps, therefore it would be good that /e/s system apps do not appear as upgradable in Yalp and F-Droid to avoid confusion. Especially with regards to the (Fake) Google Play Store this will be important as users might not understand why Google Play Store should be updated on a Gxxxle-free system.
Steps to reproduce
- Install /e/
- Install Yalp and/or F-Droid app(s)
What is the current behavior?
- In Yalp and/or F-Droid updates for system relevant apps from /e/ are shown but not updated (error message).
What is the expected correct behavior?
Ideally, system relevant apps are not shown displayed for update, neither in Yalp, F-Droid nor similar apps.
