Mismatched version on relases past 1.1.1

Open secretServant opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Minor issue. Despite being on v1.1.2.1, android settings still states the app is on v1.1.1. Seems like a value isn't being updated during these last minor releases.

Context/Usability reason: I only realized because I was using an Obtainium and it would prompt for a new update infinitely, thought it was a bug for that app. I quickly the realized the actual issue was the mismatch between Chance's version info compared to release/about page.

It's on purpose, bumping the version number forces human review on TestFlight. I didn't know about this downside, though, will consider what to do... May open a PR on "Obtanium" to fix their behaviour, they shouldn't keep prompting for already installed release. I am bumping the build number still....

Apple!!! Damn you Tim and your quality assurance!

khaaaaaan

Maybe only bump version info on the Android build? I know you want to keep the builds as similar as possible, but this might be a necessary place of divergence.

For now I'm just disabling update checks for Chance on Obtainium, but then I have to check the app manually (oof). I bet there's a decent chunk of people who use Obtainium to get android projects not on an app store. I'll leave the issue open to let people know and allow you to decide how to close it best, not a huge issue.

Thanks for all your hard works as usual!

At least obtanium could have a feature like ignore this 1 update only....

Came across this same issue, also using Obtainium. It would be good to see Chan on either IzzyOnDroid or official F-Droid if Obtainium can't be used to reliably update the app.
