@thewierdnut it seems that currently CI signs apks with a new key with each build, so they can't be updated anyway, only with full uninstall first.

thewierdnut commented 2 months ago

They are debug apk's, which means they are signed with the android debug key. They will not be compatible with f-droid releases, which are signed with f-droid's own key (which I don't have access to).

You should be able to upgrade from the github apks to the next github apk, but switching back and forth from the github apks to the f-droid apks will require an uninstall first.

I'm talking about github debug builds. I can't upgrade any of them, even if versionCode increments.

A workaround for us users would be https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haibison.apksigner&hl=de&gl=US

Very easy to use, sign apk, install, on every update do a 2 minute signing on the apk, update install works.

That doesn't help with obtanium though.

So I hoped to avoid this issue by using the debug key generated by the android build process, and that works for my purposes, but when I build this on github, it starts with a fresh build image every time, which means the build makes a new key for every apk.

I don't really want to get into the business of managing keys, as I don't want to post them as part of the repo, and I don't want to have to manually sign and update each build, so I'm kind of at a loss for a way forward at the moment.

I think this is fixed now, though old (and current) builds will still be broken. Future builds should work though.
