add a option to skip signature check when checking updates

[rhjdvsgsgks]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. some application not shown in updates tab even they have updates on fdroid

Describe the solution you'd like add a option to skip signature check when checking updates

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context so that i can know which application is published to fdroid recently. and then switch to fdroid version from github/gplay version

the apps are not shown because they are signed with a different key. android would reject the update if anyone, including droidify, tried the update.

you can try this for yourself:

1. go the the f-droid webpage of the app.
2. download the lastest version.
3. use "adb install " to attempt upgrade.
4. verify that android rejects it.

the standard answer is "there is nothing you can do".

what you can do if your phone is rooted

• you can install some Xposed implementation (such as LSposed, etc), then install an Xposed module that modifies the android OS to accept any signature (something like CorePatch, InstallerOpt, etc). NOTE THAT THIS IS A HUGE SECURITY RISK.
• use Neo Backup to backup your app, uninstall it, install the version with the key you want, restore data only from the backup.

I have added support for this, but you need to be in telegram group to test it.

You can download the latest alpha builds from our Telegram Community or Actions Tab

@Iamlooker could you also ignore signature when checking updates if the option is enabled? just like https://github.com/NeoApplications/Neo-Store/commit/ff1855a47539376462da7a444a5c7217e859014b

@Iamlooker thanks for your commit. unfortunately it did not work properly. here is the step to reproduce a problem:

1. install google play version of revolution irc
2. enable "ignore signature" in droidify
3. check update
4. revolution irc exists on update tab
5. click it
6. the main button at app info page is "launch" rather than update
7. back to update tab
8. revolution irc disappeared on update tab
