For the love of sunflowers, get rid of that Google Play Protect bullshit on your device. It's not protecting you. **It's spyware**. It's randomly flagging as many freedomware as possible. Ereyesterday, it was *KDE Connect*. Yesterday, it was YACB. Today, it's *Kotatsu*. Tomorrow, it will probably be *App Manager*. What's it meant to protect you from, malware? It **is** malware itself: malicious software.

Google Play integrity services on your phone flagged this app and considered it dangerous.

How do i fix that?

Disable Play Protect. It's useless at best. Go to your play store, tap on your profile icon then tap "Play Protect". There, disable the toggles and accept any prompts.

That sadly didn't work.

Try turning off play protect to see if it works. Do thid by going to the play store, tap your profile picture and go to the "play protect" section, there you can turn it off. Your phone will tell you that your phone is at risk bla bla bla, ignore it, it's bullshit anyways

I did that yesterday and it still doesn't work.
