Every developer wishing to offer applications on F-Droid will have to register their identities and package names to Google for Android devices to install their apps, regardless of the distribution platform (F-Droid, Obtainium, GitHub releases, etc.)

Doesn't fdroid build everything from source (in the main repo)? There's no way Google would allow them to do that with their own developer keys.

Apple does

You can only install an app you made for a week until you have to resign it.

It’s shit.
