Example post, link, markdown...

The version of the apk/app when installed is 2023.31.0 following reddit's version scheme. However, infinity for reddit's version on github is currently 5.12.0. This mismatch causes issues when using app installers/updaters like obtainium since github releases reports the latest version differently from the app itself. Since the app isn't available on repositories like f-droid, it would be nice if it functioned better with obtainium. Obtainium does have built-in estimation for situations like this but it is not perfect, and does not work in all situations.

Expected behaviour

Version on github matches actual app version or vice versa.

Current behaviour

Versions don't match. There is no version detection available. The app thinks there is an update, even though I have 5.12.0 installed.

Yeah, I did this cause the app version is sometimes pulled for some generic network calls. I willI start incrementing/releasing the versions according to Reddits scheme on the next release.
