Today is a very sad day. Apparently, cake wallet has made the asenine decision to abandon their fdroid repository for this other app store called accrescent Which is a centralized store very focused on security but has a central point of failure and can pull apps at any time they wish for any reason or no reason at all or succumb to government take down requests.

Edit: A direct quote from a chat from tux on the cake wallet team.

"Maybe I didn't make it clear enough the reason we abandoned it was because it stopped letting us update. It broke, and we haven't been able to fix it and don't care enough too"

Edit 2: Some more color was given on the issue in today's Monerotopia episode and apparently it has something to do with a flutter update that could not be avoided but caused breaking issues. I will say that I hope they can re-establish the repository in the future.

Well, that's sad. But you can use other waller for this, for example, Monerujo. It has swaps directly in the wallet.

Swaps via Exolix. I use monerujo, but no thanks on that. Exolix is sketch af

I do already use monerujo. However, I don't trust the built-in swap functionality of the apps at all. I go to TrokaDoor, myself, and do the swap. Honestly, how hard is it to do a Monero wallet that only has Monero and doesn't have a bunch of extra crap like swaps built in? I don't want them. I stopped using cake wallet for a long time because they just had too much functionality and their app was huge. Their app has gotten less huge now which is better but they still have a ton of functionality in their app that I never use.
