New app: Ethic APK Guard

Required

• The app complies with the inclusion criteria
• The original app author has been notified (and does not oppose the inclusion) — Submission by the upstream author (public account jpi59).
• All related fdroiddata and RFP issues have been referenced in this merge request
• Builds with fdroid build and all pipelines pass
• There is an issue tracker and contact info of the author so that we can report bugs and contact the author.

Strongly Recommended

• The upstream app source code repo contains the app metadata (summary/description/images/changelog/etc) in a Fastlane or Triple-T folder structure
• Releases are tagged and auto update is enabled (v0.1.2 tagged, AutoUpdateMode: Version enabled).

Suggested

• External repos are added as git submodules instead of srclibs
• No reproducible-build claim is made; standard build signed by F-Droid.
• Multiple apks for native code — Not applicable (no native code).

Reviewer notes

The app performs local package/signing/permission comparisons and can hand one reviewed APK to Android's system installer after explicit confirmation. It does not install silently, uninstall an existing app, upload APKs, or enumerate/transmit an installed-app inventory. APKS/XAPK containers are recognized and declined because split-package installation is not implemented in this release.

The optional public lookup is limited to F-Droid's package API, metadata repository, and reproducible-verification records. Absence of a record is presented as unknown, not as a safety certification. The release source is intentionally conservative and welcomes review of the package-install permission and the app's distinct value.
