Yes, unfortunately a known issue.
You can safely ignore it by clicking "more details" -> "install anyway".

The warning is displayed because the app currently targets api25 (Android 7), but Google Play Protect requires that apps target 30+.

I have plans to bump the targetApi by the end of the year. Unfortunately in the interim, this scary looking message is being displayed to new users..

A related issue of low target API version is F-Droid Basic warning This app was built for an older version of Android and cannot be updated automatically.
