VideoLAN @videolan App Stores were a mistake. Currently, we cannot update VLC on Windows Store, and we cannot update VLC on Android Play Store, without reducing security or dropping a lot of users... For now, iOS App Store still allows us to ship for iOS9, but until when?

How about winget or the other commandline package managers? winget does have VLC according to winget-pkgs. This is the kind of "stores" we need, ones that emulate Linux repositories instead of locked down smartphone garbage.

    Asking if something is secure on an insecure OS. Seriously, both the program and the repositories are on github:

    https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli

    https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs

    So you be the judge.

    Unfortunately even FlatPak is insecure, so OS doesn't really matter
