The geteduroam Apps are also available on F-Droid; would that also be a 
good alternative actually?

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/app.eduroam.geteduroam/
(and https://f-droid.org/repo/app.eduroam.geteduroam_2676.apk)

Knowing that Google is changing their sideloading policy, I'm not 
entirely sure for how long users can continue to use .apk's, but for now 
of course all strategies should work.
