I used the fdroid app through droidify and when I use the companion app to add a matter device it tells me to install the app.

I can only note that it requires the play store version.

Is this known, a bug or a necessary evil?

Since I have a degoogled phone, I got a USB Bluetooth dongle for my server. If you use docker (like me) it is a bit tricky but doable. I was furious thinking Google is unavoidable, but it is just a sign of how bad android is tide to google...
