Thank you for sharing the screenshots from the Samsung App Store. Could you please check if there is a link to the source code included in the app listing? According to the AGPLv3 license requirements, the source code should be made accessible if the app is a modified version of another AGPLv3 licensed application. If you find a link, that's perfect! If not, the publisher is likely not in compliance with the license, and further action might be needed to address this issue.

I got direct link to store - https://galaxystore.samsung.com/detail/com.github.bmx666.appcachecleaner Thief doesn't even change package name, doesn't provide any links and sell open-source app.

Worse than that now the app is a paid app here is the screenshot as you can see it goes from free to paid

Also no link to you github can be found

I reported about this app -> https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/apps-services/how-to-report-intellectual-infringement-in-the-galaxy-store/ Let's wait feedback from Samsung.

Reported too

The app was removed from the Galaxy Store, thanks a lot for that. I hope people start respecting the open-source community instead of stealing free and open-source apps and making money off of them.
