BinaryEye from F-droid cannot be installed on Amazon tablet #454

I tried to install version 1.63.7 from F-Droid archive to tablet Amazon Fire HD8 (2018 release, it has 64-bit CPU but OS is 32-bit) but install fails with an error "App was not installed". I was able to install that app to newer tablet (Fire HD8 - 2022 release, it has 64-bit OS).

I can install version 1.63.7 from GitHub to older tablet, no issue...

https://github.com/markusfisch/BinaryEye/releases/tag/1.63.7

I understand that this issue is related to F-Droid, they build application in a wrong way. I do not know how to report issue to F-Droid and I wanted to highlight that there is an issue...

Hm, that is quite a bit strange as the F-Droid version should be built with the same set of native libraries as the one on GitHub. In theory, the only difference is with what key it is signed 🤔

Anyway, thanks for filing an issue about that! I will see if there is something I can do.

If you want to report this to F-Droid, you can do that here.
