    Just tried to update the eBay app on my Passport, am getting the 'app cannot be installed' error message from BlackBerry Android Runtime. I see that the current app appears to be a major update (v5.0.0.x), I assume that it needs a newer version of the runtime? Is it time for a repository of APKs compatible with OS10.3? I searched the forum but don't see anything like this yet.

    It would be nice if someone could keep up with what the limits were for BB10 and catalog all the fully working versions of key Android apps.

    This would make our phones much more usable. Could someone do this and request small donations for the effort?

    For free/libre apk, you have F-droid app/repository, and most of apps doesn't require google services, so these apps will work much better than most of commercial software

    In the sense that there are apps there, sure. But not in the sense that you're going to find a lot of mainstream apps there. It's an app repository for apps that are open-source and have no external dependencies (like Google Mobile Services). You won't find Netflix, SnapChat, Facebook, etc. there - but the apps that are available should run well on BB10, as long as they don't require Android 4.4 or higher.
