I use K-9 Mail (aka Thunderbird Mobile) on my phone, installed via #FDroid. Last week, K-9 showed up in the list of pending updates in the Google Play Store, despite it not having installed that apk, and not being able to update it (and it wants to install the same version as is already installed). I can't clear it from the "pending updates" list. Unfortunately this seems to be a new #Android Play Store bug (see forum.f-droid.org/t/google-pla…). Reported to Google.

@IzzyOnDroid have you had any experience with this bug?

Google Play Store tries to update my F-Droid apps :-(

Some days ago, the Google Play Store started to list F-Droid apps as outdated. These are apps that exist on both, the Play Store and F-Droid. Naturally, the Play Store fails to update these apps due to a signature mismatch.

Danke für die Empfehlung! Leider will über #Droidify der Download gerade nicht starten 🤔

Über #fdroid klappt es.

Anyone else having trouble updating the @IzzyOnDroid #IzzyOnDroid repository ?

Or get it from #fdroid - That version even has address book integration and public channel discovery! 😂

👍👌👏

We have been running an #FDroid-compatible repository since 2012! Since then, the free software ecosystem on Android has blossomed, meaning @fdroidorg can be properly strict about #FreeSoftware. A couple of our apps still have a couple #proprietary blobs that are requirements. F-Droid no longer includes any third party repos by default, that means our repo is no longer there by default. It is still easy and safe to add it! Read on for more info:

The future of our fdroid-compatible app repository

Guardian Project has been running its own fdroid-compatible app repository since 2012. Up until now, we worked to ensure that our repository had the same standards of free software as the official F-Droid repository.

To celebrate Conversations being back on the Play Store and to deny Google their 15% cut I made the app free for the next ~48 hours. 😜

Seems like at #fdroid we started to tackle a problem which I personally also encountered, but never found a good solution in my head: the distinction between F-Droid (the repository of FOSS apps) and F-Droid (the client for repositories of android apps). See gitlab.com/fdroid/admin/-/issu… (thanks @uniqx for bringing it up)

It basically the #NamingThingsIsHard problem, you always have in technology

F-Droids repo could use a name (#469) · Issues · F-Droid / admin · GitLab

F-Droids central repository and the F-Droid client app are very distinct things, yet we refer to them under the same name. This makes it very hard to explain...

Remember that #PlayStore wanted to update/replace a bunch of apps installed from other sources such as #FDroid recently? Well, turns out someone found what triggers it and how it can be avoided, see github.com/jamie-mh/Authentica… for details.

Basically, the reason there was that AABs (the #Android App Bundles uploaded to Play) had a higher versionCode than the APKs distributed by the other sources. Still does not explain why Google ignored the "installer" property, though.
