You can download it from F-Droid or use the F-Droid release flavour when downloading from github, but IMO they should be removed from all releases

We use HockeyApp for crash reporting and Firebase messaging for push notifications to keep your vault in sync. If you don't want those features, you can use the F-Droid build.

Explanation, just so everyone doesn't think they're included just for fun

My fdroid version also syncs, then why use firebase for pushing notifications?

with firebase it gets to know that the vault has just changed on another device, and update it immediately

you are right, but you'd think a privacy focused open source password manager wouldn't connect to big corps in the background
