Can you please explain in details? By default the microG Services that it is installed is the official version (that can be updated through F-Droid); it only install my custom version if you enable the option USE_GMSCORE_BY_ALE5000 (USE_MICROG_BY_ALE5000 in the next versions) before flashing the zip.

i tried updating through fdroid but it failed (signature mismatch) but it updated if i downloaded apk from official microg website

Sometimes there may be issues with the microG repository or with F-Droid itself. The fact that microG use signature spoofing add additional complications because F-Droid isn't able the see the real signature; the microG repository has a workaround for this issue but problems may arise.

hmm , so no fix for this ?

The microG installed by default is the one with official signature. Other than this I cannot do anything. This problem annoy also me but I haven't found any solution.

You could try to find where this problem is reported in F-Droid support and write there. If they don't find a way to overcome the problem of signature spoofing then I think that there isn't any alternative.
