Last night Organic Maps was removed from the Play Store without any warnings or additional details due to "not meeting the requirements for the Family Program". Compared to Google Maps and other maps apps rated for 3+ age, there are no ads or in-app purchases, and no user information is collected in Organic Maps. We have asked for an appeal.
As a temporary workaround you can install the upcoming Google Play update from this link: https://cdn.organicmaps.app/apk/OrganicMaps-24081605-GooglePlay.apk
This APK should work with Android Auto.
This is a workaround for tech savvy people, but pretty far from the point here. This move is bad for the community and bad for the app. Play Store brings orders of magnitude more exposure and users
I tried f-droid just now but organic maps gives me a 404 when trying to install. Was it removed from there too?
Edit: It looks like it was an issue on my end. F-droid was stuck on v1.17 and couldn’t update so I reinstalled it, and now I received a hundred update notifications from all my apps, and was able to install the organic maps app.
Solution: don’t install it from the Google Play Store. F-Droid and Obtainium exist.

Yeah let’s just hand wave away significant friction to a reputable FLOSS project lol
Android Auto won’t work that way.

You might have to uninstall first
Your mirror might have problems. In the F-Droid settings → Repositories → F-Droid, you could try deactivating mirrors to see, if it works then.
