Describe the bug
On this page there are instructions for installing the app via F-Droid. A QR code and repository link are provided for the adding the repo to F-Droid but neither option work. The provided link is https://fdroid.libretro.com. The error message on F-Droid says it's an invalid repository and to "contact the maintainer and let them know about the issue."

Expected behavior/changes
I would expect the QR code and link to be valid and allow the repository to be added to F-Droid. I believe the URL should be https://fdroid.libretro.com/repo/ after a little more digging.

Additional context
I think the builds in the libretro repo are old. After adding the using the link I found, F-Droid has a notice on RetroArch saying it was built for an old version of Android and cannot be updated automatically. It says it was last updated 4 years ago.

I also notice it seems to be available in the normal F-Droid repo and was last updated 10 days ago. So maybe the Android documentation should be updated to remove the libretro repo instructions?
