Catima 2.28.0 is out!

This release mostly focuses on small polish here and there. Some of the bigger changes are that you can now "quick receive" instead of just "quick spend" right from the card screen and Catima will warn you that scanning is more reliable when you try to enter a barcode manually (don't worry, the option isn't going away, it's just a nudge to guide users to use the more reliable scan feature when possible).

This release also targets Android 14.

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 https://forum.f-droid.org/t/google-play-store-tries-to-update-my-f-droid-apps/24621). 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Some days ago, the Google Play Store started to list F-Droid apps as outdated.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.

Nachdem ich einige Apps zum Scannen von Dokumenten/Rechnungen getestet habe, kann ich "OSS Document Scanner" empfehlen. Gibt es im F-Droid Repository von @IzzyOnDroid. 👇

Eine traurige Wahrheit: Bei der Analyse/Überprüfung des Datenverkehrs einer App, lautet die Frage nicht, ob man Datenschutzverstöße findet, sondern wie viele und wie schwerwiegend diese sind. Davon ausgenommen sind Apps aus dem F-Droid-Store. 🧙‍♂️

XtMapper returned to the repo and now has its APKs properly signed with release keys (not debug anymore). So if you used it before, you'll have to uninstall and reinstall the app.
