- Looking for local crash detection like Crashlytics
- Is there a simple way or good library to get device information without doing it by myself?

Why the .... Tracker blocking Foss app have trackers
ACRA is a crash reporting library used in many Libre android apps (including the F-Droid client itself). It is often considered a "tracker" because it can send crash reports automatically without user consent, however, this particular app (TrackerControl) does not do this, according to its readme.

Why does F-droid have trackers?
Why AM considers ACRA as tracker (and not logger like AppWarden does)? See the README page: https://github.com/ACRA/acra. It explicitly states that ACRA can be used to send not only the crash reports but also other information directly from the app if the app has the INTERNET permission. This is what makes it a tracker because it can send information to the server without any user intervention or consent. F-Droid doesn’t use this feature (and probably many apps don’t) but that’s left for the user to find out. But if people didn’t know about the existence of this tracker, they would never ask F-Droid for an explanation. A tracker is a tracker regardless of who use them. If AM used some form of whitelists, that would raise the question of authoritarianism.

F-Droid: Android FOSS app store
This is the discussion on implementing a popcon-style feature in F-Droid if you want to read through where the project got to: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/issues/396

First fully commercial, paid app requiring a key to function at all in main F-Droid repo! (Or is a free ad for the app?)
Meanwhile, the Latest tab "highlights good descriptions" (meaning in other words that it "hides" apps not meeting certain metadata criteria, even if they're completely free - as in speech and in beer - apps), which was not free of some irony, and was discussed at length with apparent consensus to change it but then every time it was back to square one. Because "Latest" apparently doesn't mean "Latest" and people don't get the nuances of English. Not kidding. Read the issue.

# of app downloads
Basically, not at present, I think. It's happened for some time, and for a longer time in the past, it's been discussed multiple times, but I don't think right now there's any effort in this direction.
