You can build the app from source code though. Couldn't you compare that to the Google Build?

Also, you could use a fork like Molly, they removed all proprietary binary blobs and replaced them with FOSS alternatives. And it's still fully compatible with Signal

    only if the app is built reproducibly. I suspect the google libraries are likely minified/obfuscated by default though.
