Seems like it does, f-droid shows it just as regular update (before that it was warning about incompatible signature for some reason), but giving error “Not installed” every your try of updating it.
microG repo was deleted and then added back again to avoid showing it under the name “UnifiedNlp (no GAPPS)” instead of the “microG Services Core”, so it’s placed at first (at the bottom).
Hey thanks @Danko for joining! And yes, confirmed from me too that new repo still gives the same error. BUT are we sure the problem is signature? Because here they say the problem is about redirecting. (@Licaon_Kter is actually in this subject)
Ah, and @SkewedZeppelin , not sure if you read my question, but if gps isn’t a google thing, do you have an idea of how to implement location services on this 8.1 without google services? Would be great to have this since it’s the whole point of why I’ve opend this post. (edit: i think you might be refering to apps, which do work without google, but I am referring to browser/websites using gps/location, sorry for the inconvenience)
Today’s morning the problem was finally (I’m not sure) gone and update works — those redirection in microG repo was temporarily disabled, as main developer said.
I’ve just updated f-droid app from 1.15.6 to 1.16 and facing again probably those old annoying bug with signature incompability, but now it’s definitely on f-droid’s side, not on microg repo.
By the way, app can’t be downgraded back due to the “Error -25: new package has older version code than currently installed package”. But seems like it’s caused by LOS4microg ROM in my case, in which f-droid is preinstalled as a system app.
Any suggestions?
After updating f-droid on another device to the latest stable 1.16.1 ver. I get the same issue with sudden microg “incompability”, but it’s definitely some weird bug due to the new build of f-droid.
I just came across an old R/11 emulator image w/ microG in my Android Studio installation (for a completely different reason) and decided to try to reproduce this by updating the F-Droid client incremental until things break:
