Download from the link instead. Once you download the apk file you can install it straight from your phone. You probably need to give permission for it to be installed.

It's awesome
Unless you submit a FOSS app and they don't feel like including it.
Are you talking about a particular app? Usually apps are rejected because they don't meet the inclusion policy, not merely because "they don't feel like it."
It meets it quite well, still didn't include it because of rule they made on-the-fly.
Can you share what app it was? And maybe link relevant GitLab discussion
I use Nebulo for DNS over HTTPS, it works well. F-Droid repo for Nebulo: https://fdroid.frostnerd.com/
The Nebulo version on the Play store is years behind the F-Droid version.
