   Hi Martin,   
      
   You have plenty of options.   
      
   I did helpfully provide TWO different APK sources (Gitlab & F-Droid).   
   Did you try both of them? That's what I would have done.   
      
   It's likely the Gitlab APK will work even if the F-droid failed for you.   
   I's what most people do when they have the problem that you reported.   
      
   That's why I put links to both of them in the OP for example.   
   I wouldn't just give up when the first stumbling block hits me.   
      
   However, I didn't experience the signature mismatch you're reporting,   
   and I have over a thousand apps (many of which are contacts related).   
      
   I have between 60 and 70 packages alone that read contacts, but none of   
   them clashed with DOpen Contacts when I installed it on Android 13.   
      
   When I opened DOpen Contacts in Muntashirakon App Manager (which everyone   
   by now has because it's 1 of the best Android apps ever written), it shows

   You can't do that perhaps because it may not have actually   
   installed itself, but you can certainly look at the APK.   
      
   I just examined the F-Droid APK using MixExplorer which brings up   
   Muntashirakon which reveals the following information about it.

   Do you get the same output from the F-Droid APK you downloaded?
