By "Developer of the Newpipe app"

Hmm....

Unverified

It's a "No" from me. I'll stick to Freetube.

For those unaware, being verified means it is packaged by the official developer/team.

If you look at the description you can see that they clearly say that it isn’t official:

NOTE: This is an unofficial and experimental Flatpak build based on Android Translation Layer. Please report bugs to the ATL bug tracker instead of the NewPipe bug tracker https://gitlab.com/android_translation_layer/android_translation_layer/-/issues.

Don’t know why they’d put “Developer of the Newpipe app” as dev though

My guess is that they did not want to take credit as the developer of NewPipe itself. As if to say "We did not develop NewPipe, we just packaged it as a Flatpak". There is probably a better way to get that across in the byline, but I believe that is the intent.
