Why Godot Android Editor updates no longer appearing on F-Droid?

RajnishKMehta · August 12, 2026, 4:13pm

I noticed that the Godot Engine Android Editor on F-Droid does not seem to be receiving newer versions anymore.

The F-Droid listing currently shows Godot 4.5.1.stable as the latest version, with the latest entries added on 18 October 2025. There are also multiple entries for the same version, presumably for different Android architectures/build variants.

However, newer Godot releases have been available upstream since then, but I don’t see them appearing in the F-Droid listing.

Could someone explain what is currently preventing newer Godot Android Editor versions from being published on F-Droid?
