Description

I think a lot of people like me choose not to use F-Droid (due to security concerns), and it would be great if the https://buildbot.libretro.com offered the same APKs that are on F-Droid (which have a file size of no more than 50 MB) so we could add them to the Obtainium app and keep everything up to date

Research direction

No repository file or test is named. Start by investigating how buildbot.libretro.com produces and publishes Android APKs, then compare those artifacts with the F-Droid APKs and their stated size constraints. Done should be defined by which APK variants are offered and how they are kept available for Obtainium.
