Mismatch between Accrescent and F-Droid builds #568

Closed CaseyBakey closed 4 months ago

CaseyBakey commented 4 months ago

Hello,

I installed Clipious v1.9.11 (versionName), build 4056 (versionCode) from Accrescent.

I got an update notification from within F-Droid?

I accepted it, to see what would happen, pretty sure that it won't work.

But it did?!

F-Droid successfully installed v1.9.10 (versionName), build 40553 (versionCode).

It makes sense that this "downgrade" was possible because versionName can be whatever, but versionCode must be incremental.

However, how F-Droid was able to take precedence over Accrescent?

Clipious is now greyed out in Accrescent, and is updated through F-droid.

Are you the one providing signed APKs to F-Droid? That would also explain how the APK install did work (same signature).

Anyways, I guess you made a mistake regarding the versionCode.

Kind regards

This is expected. Accrescent takes in an app bundle that share code between 3 architectures (arm v6 v6 and x86) under a single build number.

F droid uses split apks (one per architecture) and need different build numbers. The last digit is used to differentiate the architecture.
