applicationId changed?

[IzzySoft]

I just wonder that the APK at the latest release has a different applicationId than the previous one from 8/2021 – and what the implications are, as different applicationId means different app, so this is no update to the last one but a different app:

• the two are indeed different apps (so how to tell them apart by release file names or tags? The APK at tag 2.0.1 is named android_universal.apk and identifies as com.jovial.jrpn2. The one at tag 2.1.3 is indeed named jrpn15_android_app-release.apk and identifies as com.jovial.jrpn15. So what file name to look out for if one wants to update com.jovial.jrpn2 (think of an automated updater, as this is about your app in my repo
• the two should be the same, and renaming was accidental (because, where was the previous 15?)
• Maybe the two variants could be combined into a single APK to avoid the confusion?

There are two different applications built from the same source base -- see https://jrpn.jovial.com/ . Making that work across various build environments took some reorganization.

For an automated build, I'd recommend using https://github.com/zathras/jrpn15_build and/or https://github.com/zathras/jrpn16_build, as appropriate. I added some notes to the main JRPN README about the build structure.

Apologies if my phrasing wasn't clear. I wasn't asking about the build process, but about fetching the corresponding APKs. My repo is just a "simple binary repo", I do not build the apps myself but rather fetch the APKs built by the corresponding developers. So what I'd need is a clear naming pattern to make sure I fetch only the matching APKs (btw, the two repositories you referred to do not provide any APKs at their releases).

The one currently listed with my repo is, as outlined above, com.jovial.jrpn2. So how do I make sure only to fetch APKs with that applicationId? I can exclude or restrict-to by using regular expressions on the file and/or tag names. So I could e.g. ApkIgnore: /jprn15/i to not fetch that one, or /jprn1[56]/i to exclude 16 as well. But would that ensure I fetch all jprn2 builds? What would you suggest?

[zathras]

OK. The original app, JPRN 16, aka com.jovial.jrpn2, is called jrpn16_android_app-release.apk. The newer, second app, JRPN 15, aka com.jovial.jrpn15, is called jrpn15_android_app-release.apk. The original one is a programmer's calculator; the newer one is a scientific calculator. It's possible for there to be a release with just one of them, or with both.

Thanks a lot! Added the 15C to my repo then as well, matching the corresponding APK files as you indicated. While on it, I also updated the license (you originally used MIT, I've now set it to GPL3+ as your repo here shows).
