Surespot depends on a bunch of google play services and is officially distributed on google play. Is there a way to install pre-compiled surespot apk outside of google play for those that don't install proprietary google code on their phone? I noticed that the open-source android apk repository F-Droid can't distribute it for this reason: https://f-droid.org/forums/topic/surespot-encrypted-messagin...

(Side note: moxie prohibits TextSecure on F-Droid as there is no forced auto update like google play. I currently have to download and compile the TextSecure source code myself, which is no biggie, but as a CM user, I'm definitely excited about this integration!)
