The reported tracker is ACRA, a crash report library (https://github.com/ACRA/acra).
I digged a bit into the source code and the apk. From looking at the code alone one can't tell if the crash report is actually enabled, the build configuration depends on some unpublished file. But looking into the apk allows to reconstruct it. These are my findings:
Unfortunetly they go with their own custom licence and AFAIK it's not open source as it does not allow commercial use.
Can you give more details of the scan result? Exodus only lists the Play store version. I installed the F-Droid version but Exodus app reports it as "same version" and just shows the clean Google Play Store results. This is obviously wrong, the SHA1 listed for the Play Store version on the Exodus website is different compared to the F-Droid .apk I have installed. Sadly the Exodus website does not support scanning F-Droid apps from third-party repos so I have no idea how to scan it.
That being said, according to the privacy policy (https://voiceinput.futo.org/VoiceInput/PrivacyPolicy), the F-Droid .apk version should have some kind of crash report build-in. So I could imagine that this might get flagged.
Thank you, I'll look into it.
I didn't install/scan it myself, but the exodus site shows no trackers on Google play version. https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/org.futo.voiceinput/latest/
