Hi there, I used F-Droid for a long time and never had any problems, but I just got a message that it terminated / crashed. So I couldn’t get into the APP anymore and deleted it in order to reinstall it. Now I can no longer install it and I get the message that the pajrt is invalid. Does this know …

Do you use Android profiles eg. Work profile and such?

I have the same problem, when trying to install in a different user profile. It works in my owner profile.

So you’ve downloaded the APK. You don’t already have F-Droid installed, yes? You don’t use “work profiles” or “app cloning” and whatnot, yes?

Thank you for the feedback. I use a secondary profile. I share the smartphone with my girlfriend. It worked before. I deleted the secondary profile and created a new one. Only now it is no longer possible to install fdroid via the apk file.

When using secondary profiles it’s better to “clone from main profile” eg. Shelter or Insular have this function, else you need to install the EXACT SAME version. Which F-Droid version do you have installed already? eg. for 1.15.3: https://f-droid.org/repo/org.fdroid.fdroid_1015053.apk (but you al…

Thank you very much for your help. The first account has fdroid 1.15.3 installed. I was able to install that when I accepted the message with security. Why does not let you install another version on the second profile? I thought the two profiles were separate.
