As much as I love fdroid and I love to be in a community where this recommendation is made repeatedly, the announcement suggests to download from https://cdn.organicmaps.app/apk/OrganicMaps-24081605-GooglePlay.apk while they appeal. From the way they wrote the announcement, I understand Android Auto won't work with the fdroid version.

I'm angry that Google prevents sideloaded apps from running on Android Auto. I think this is against the recent EU laws about gatekeepers.
