Comment (by eighthave):

 It is easy to reliably detect whether Google Play and/or F-Droid is
 installed, so the UI should only show options that make sense based on
 that info.  E.g. only show Play or F-Droid buttons if they are installed.
 The open case is what to do if neither Play nor F-Droid is detected.
 There could be a `market:` link, which in theory should open in any app
 store, but I think it is unevenly implemented.  My guess is that the
 direct APK download option probably makes more sense.

 As for building this final release, I think it should not be a full Orfox
 build. It should only be a tiny shim app to walk the user through
 installing Tor Browser.

 This shim app can use the same logic for detecting Play/F-Droid to detect
 if Tor Browser is installed.  If it is  installed, I think the Orfox shim
 should prompt the user to uninstall itself.  That's also very easy to do.
