fdroid: Build a specific app.
$ fdroid build ${app_id}
try on your machine

This command is using the fdroid tool to build an Android application from its source code. The ${app_id} placeholder refers to the unique identifier or package name of the application.

In more detail, fdroid is a command-line tool used in conjunction with the F-Droid app repository, which is an open-source alternative to the Google Play Store. It allows users to build, manage, and distribute Android apps independently. The build command is one of the functions provided by fdroid to compile an app from its source code into a distributable package.

By replacing ${app_id} with the actual application identifier, you can instruct fdroid to build the specified app's source code into a format compatible with F-Droid repository standards.
