yes, this is exactly what open source "app stores" like f-droid do: reproducible builds. Also it is pretty trivial to compile it yourself to confirm.

Just because I can compile it doesn’t mean it’s the same as what’s being run on the service.

The build and what’s hosted have to be the same.

Doesn't matter if the app is just an interface to a web server.

if it's just an interface to a web server, it should just be a web page not an app
