  I struggle with GitHub sometimes. It says to download the apk but I don’t see it in the file list. Anyone care to point me in the right direction?

    There’s an app called obtainium that let’s you link the main page of github apps and manages both the download, the instalation and the updates of those apps.

    Great if you want the latest software directly from the source.

      I didn’t understand the value of fdroid all since it feels like a web wrapper. Thanks to you finally pulled the trigger on Obtanium. Omg that’s simple af

        It’s a web wrapper that points to a non-Google software repo.

        The non-Google software repo is the important part, the interface can be bad as long as it can install software.

        I use Obtanium too, but fDroid is my first stop when I need an app. Google’s Play store is a last resort.

        Droid-ify and Neo-Store are alternative clients for the F-Droid repository (and other repos), that you may like better than the official client. But yeah, Obtainium is indeed simple and it’s powerful if you already know exactly which app you want to install (rather than searching for relevant options in some repositories).

      Love me some Obtainium. Did my first PR this week (adding cross-device sync via SxncD)

    At the bottom of the page, it says releases - click on the release that’s there, and that’s where you’ll find the all.

    I haven’t been able to install it though due to signature mismatch, I’m not sure why…

    • moncharleskey@lemmy.zip ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Awesome, thanks! You didn’t install a previous version did you? Apparently you can’t update to the current version due to the signature issue.

  Amazing, thank you. I have uninstalled this bs twice now and have so far been spared by another force install. I hope this works

  And what exactly does the github App do?

  Is suppose it’s not the same as the Google App?

  source

  • ziggurat@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    It doesn’t do anything. The only reason to consider installing it is that this is cryptographically signed by another developer, so if Google tries to install safety core again, it will fail because googled signature is different. It also has a super high version number, so that Google hopefully will not think to try to install the software.
