Had the same issue where it would not update at certain times, usually downloading the apk from github and "updating" it from the package installer makes the next version work fine.

Yeah as said in the issue it happens to me every time, i always have to download from GitHub because updating in the app doesn't work.

Still having this issue until now. My workaround was also directly downloading the update from GitHub. Updating from the app only downloads but no notification to install.

This issue just happened with me. My guess is that our android skin is blocking the session installer that the app uses. Having an option to use the native installer instead of the session installer would solve this issue. The workaround for this problem that doesn't involves just installing the latest APK for MIUI phones is to go to developer settings and disabling MIUI optimizations.

It's been quite a while that it's working now, can download, and after finished can update; all from the notification bar on my phone just like before. Cheers!

Yes, can confirm it's been working again for a few months now.
