I’ve tried finding threads already on the forums, tried many options with quotes and without it, Version and Version v%v, different subdir-s as well but it always seems to give this error.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Your app seems to be flutter based, so take a look at the flutter template: Files · master · F-Droid / Data · GitLab

Thank you for such a quick response, I’ll try that right now

Also, while you’re at it, pls setup flutter as a submodule so you can update it as you need and F-Droid can autoupdate :wink:

Sorry but I can’t seem to find any information on how to do that, what exactly do you mean by this? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Oops, forgot the link: Encourage devs to switch from srclibs to submodules as much as possible (#2803) · Issues · F-Droid / Data · GitLab
