Feature

SimpleX should be available to install from Accrescent, due to it being one of the most secure methods for installing apps according to the GrapheneOS team.

This issue brought this up but was self-closed due to the author claiming "Accrescent is not just open source app store, but it host also closed source apps". More context is given in this issue opened by the same user. The user closed their original issue simply because they do not like Accrescent, so I am reopening it with more details.

For what it's worth, all apps released to Accrescent so far are open source. Here are all the apps currently available for Accrescent with links to their source code as evidence:

Accrescent

Organic Maps: Offline Map

Just (Video) Player

*This is not meant to advertise any of these projects, I am just including them here because of why the user closed the original issue.
