The Meshtastic app does not update since version 2.6.30 from 11.07.2025 Meshtastic | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

4 days ago there was again a new version released. Now latest version is 2.7.5: Releases · meshtastic/Meshtastic-Android · GitHub

@linsui added AGP 8.12.x as dependency.

First there was https ://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/28533 without AGP 8.12.x . There was a build error to my understanding. https ://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/28534 was then added with AGP 8.12.x .

I asked if AGP 8.11.x is not enough to build meshtastic and what make meshtastic dependent on AGP 8.12.x but do not get a clear answer on that question.

@Licaon_Kter You told at some MR in fdroiddata that the people should be able to use AGP 8.11.x and still build the apps.

My expectation as a user was that the version style changed and this broke the automatic updater in F-Droid. It got for example a ‘v’ at the version number.

Could a developer take a look if its possible to update meshtastic with AGP 8.11.x to not have to wait for the AGP 8.12.x server that are not there at the moment?

We can’t build with 8.12 or later for now.

Also we need to hunt downfor versionCode and versionName, as the checkupdate bot does not execute code, it needs static values

I have not told that it should be build with 8.12 or later. Who is telling this would be a requirement? And why should this 8.12 or newer be a requirement? This question i asked in the first post still unanswered.

Ok, and now?

When would i finally get a update for the Meshtastic app? There are many issues fixed in the app in the last months and i would like to use the new versions where the issues have been fixed.

This aapt2 fails to run on the buildserver - AGP 8.12.0-alpha07 is latest compatible (#593) · Issues · F-Droid / admin · GitLab
