OpenBoard is no longer maintained. Heliboard is a good alternative.
I think Google Play on Graphene is a good compromise, since at least it does not have root access. Unfortunately it is very crippling to completely avoid Google on Android.
That being said, I heard others are using work profiles to isolate all apps using Google Play from their more private apps. I'm not doing that, but work profiles are nice for ... well work apps.
Openboard updated for me recently. When did they stop maintaining it?

Last commit is two years ago. I'd recommend checking what you have installed. A quick search on GPlay finds what appears to be a clone that may or may not leak user data.
version 1.4.5
org.dslul.openboard.inputmethod.latin versionCode 19

Is this an AHH SHIT moment or I'm good? Lol
1.4.5 is the latest—and last—OpenBoard version, released 8/8/22 per app on F-Droid.
Did you fresh install it? Your log makes it look like you just installed it.
Yes I forgot I did. My phone bugged out one day about it. I don't know why. Whats a good FLOSS alternative?
Heliboard is recently restarted sucessor
Futo is another option, I am not sure if it is Foss Lois rossmann backs it though
It is not, just source-available:

I like FlorisBoard
So I don't want to tell you to panic but I can't find anything about "dslul" or their version of openboard. The questions I have are as follows:
I use heliboard now downloaded today and deleted open board. I acquired openboard from Fdroid. Both times. I've never heard of hapatia. I will check it out momentarily.
It's the app id from F-droid, so I would assume it is legit: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.dslul.openboard.inputmethod.latin/
Interesting! I assume then that dslul was the original developer. Weird I wasn't able to turn up anything at all... Well... Not that weird given that internet search is broken
