The app (com.shalenmathew.quotesapp) was set up to be built reproducibly, i.e. you owned the signing key. Now that it’s lost, existing users can’t upgrade. This restriction can’t be bypassed, this is Android’s security feature.

Submit your app with a new app ID.

if i am ok with with user loosing data from new version data onwards i think maintainer can do something right ? it been barely being a month i released it on fdroid so i dont even think it has even a huge user base

In IzzyOnDroid i resolved by talking to maintainer … and my existing app resumed getting updates with new signing key… i hope i can do something similar in fdroid
