OsmAnd~ 4.8.4 conflicts with OsmAnd free from Playstore

Apps
1

I’m using simultaneously 2 versions of OsmAnd. No problems till now, but I can’t update OsmAnd~ from F-Droid to version 4.8.4. If I try to sideload 4.8.4, I get a message about conflict with other app. I did some testing:

OsmAnd form Playstore coexist with OsmAnd+ from PlayStore
OsmAnd form Playstore coexist with OsmAnd~ 4.8.3 from F-Droid
OsmAnd~ 4.8.4 from F-Droid works OK alone

OsmAnd form Playstore conflicts with OsmAnd~ 4.8.4 from F-Droid

Looks for me, like versions in source code are somehow mixed. I hope that people maintaining OsmAnd~ could check the problem. Thanks!

explain what is the nature of the conflict

If I try to sideload 4.8.4, I get a message about conflict with other app

what was the error text?

also, why use two? :person_shrugging:

installer

I have Playstore version, because I like to see new releases and F-Droid version is sometimes delayed. And if one version behaves weird, I switch to another :wink:

You have these two in the same profile?

The appid has not been changed.

Can you look at Android App details for your Play version?

I don’t use profiles.

I don’t see problems with application id, this is what app details shows:
OsmAnd net.osmand
OsmAnd+ net.osmand.plus
OsmAnd~ net.osmand.plus

As you can see F-Droid packages the .plus version but it’s named OSMAnd~

So, from your list, you can install just ~ or +, BUT not both at the same time.

I’ve asked you about your Play version, please add this info to your list, which is which?

The names are confusing, but still unique:
“OsmAnd” - free Playstore version
“OsmAnd+” - paid Playstore version
“OsmAnd~” - F-Droid version

Obviously there is a conflict between “~” and “+”, but topic is about “~” and " ".

Got it reproduced with the site APK, reported in add OsmAnd v4.8.5 (!15520) · Merge requests · F-Droid / Data · GitLab hopefully it’s an easy fix
