@GrapheneOS Android 17 introduces a new permission ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK and when my phone upgraded to it, FairEmail lost the ability to connect to my email server at home. Google in their infinite wisdom won't allow apps in the Play Store to request that permission yet, nor F-Droid, so I have to sideload from their Git repo. I think this is going to be a sufficient problem it's worth mentioning widely in the release notes and your other channels like Mastodon.
