I am getting notifications that updates are available for a bunch of apps, but the version number is the same. Update fails. Package size differs. Screenshot is an example with VLC. I cleared cache, even all data+reinstall, tried other clients (droidify) but the behaviour is the same.
Probably https://github.com/Droid-ify/client/issues/1266 caused by https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/-/work_items/1327 . Should be resolved when they redeploy F-Droid.
Reading through the second link, it says that Droid-ify still uses the legacy (v1) API, why hasn’t it migrated to v2? Is there a technical reason or is it just preference?
Looks like migrating to index v2 is in progress, but is already a long time coming: https://github.com/Droid-ify/client/issues/287
Seems to be resolved on my end now
Fixed
I noticed that many people use unofficial F-Droid clients and wanted to say that unofficial F-Droid clients harm the official F-Droid mirrors because they don’t handle them correctly. So please 🙏, if you don’t heavily relay on some feature in unofficial client, try the official: F-Droid Basic kr Classic. F-Droid Basic is the most secure too.
What is the source of this info? If it was doing serious damage to them they wouldn’t publish these clients on their platform.
The same here while using droid-ify.
Same here
@BeatTakeshi they appear to be different architecture versions of 3.7.0
I was confused too since Droid-ify didn’t seem to list the architecture of the versions, and while it did download the latest version that’s 49MB, it didn’t install because it’s x86_64 apk, which won’t install on arm64(-v8a).
Oh good, it’s not just me. On droid-ify, but yeah, same thing.
I noticed this on droidify a few days ago had to disable the update on that version of libretorrent to stop it continuously trying to update.
