[–] BitPirate@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) Aren't auto updates a solved problem? It's only the official f-droid client that doesn't support this. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 years ago* First, it's not like f-droid devs weren't trying. Aren't auto updates a solved problem? No. Kinda..some apps can auto update via an alternative client but apps that target old android versions for compatibility purposes and to allow people to keep using their old phones aren't allowed to auto update and instead require to be installed manually. Basically, a problem to lot open source apps since they want to serve the maximum of users, not force them to buy a new phone. I don't know at which version this start affecting the app but knowing Google it's some bullshit random version like 9 or something. permalink fedilink source parent
