The 24h wait period is a part of the so-called “advanced flow” which will become the only way to install apps not verified by google once their new rules go into effect, as described here: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/03/android-developer-verification.html

It is not quite a native binary, but the effect of not having to install java to run it is the same. Using jlink you can assemble a runtime image containing the java bytecode for the application and a custom runtime enviroment containing the parts of the the jre needed to run that program.

I always used offline reader because the feeds i subscribed to don’t have that many updates (most of them are currently webcomics updating 1-3 times a week) so i generally just check on it a few times a day and none of it is really urgent, so there is not really much point in expanding the time where i could check on it. Another factor might also be that i started using RSS with Firefoxes inbuilt reader (which they removed back in 2018) which didn’t sync across devices, so i was just used to it being like that.
