Can't install from f-droid

[whymzml]

IDK what's wrong, but I'm just installed all termux app from f-droid

[tareksander]

I know what the error is. The app is accidentally signed with the Termux development keys and not with the f-droid keys, so the signature doesn't match with the f-droid version of Termux and it can't install. I submitted a PR for f-droid to hopefully get that fixed.

[pavan3999]

same here, downloaded from f-droid.org

[whymzml]

I think new version available, and it can be installed

so I close this issue

[captain0xff]

@whymzml can you share a link?

[tareksander]

I checked the signature of the new version on f-droid and it shouldn't work, the signature still doesn't match the one of Termux. You can watch this PR for progress.

[rysson]

@whymzml, please reopen this issue. F-droid 1.0.4 installation still fails. It's better keep open to avoid new issues about it IMHO.

@tareksander, thanks for link to PR. And for your work of course.

[whymzml]

@tareksander @rysson sorry about my decision, for now I installed GitHub version, and when check from f-droid I got this That's why I close this issue

[rysson]

OK, I can't install GUI at all.

F-droid example.

Exactly same Termux:gui v0.1.4

[jasonsyoung]

Is there a fix for this? I still can't install it.

[TheRealOne78]

Same here.

I've just had the same issue. After reading the other issues on this i see that it is because of different versions of the app(s) e.g. termux from fdroid but the termux-gui from github (avoid installing anything from F-Droid to make this work) Solution:

• Uninstall everything termux related in F-Droid
• Download termux from Github (use the universal one for simplicity sake) https://github.com/termux/termux-app/releases/tag/v0.118.0
• Download termux-gui from Github https://github.com/termux/termux-gui/releases

This fixed it for me

[jasonsyoung]

This isn't good advice as the F-Droid versions are the only ones being updated from now on. Termux should be removed from the Play Store.

I think you misread the previous comment. Both fdroid and github releases are being updated.

Termux should be removed from the Play Store.

Yes, it should, but none of us who are active here have access to the google account that have control of the old apps

The problem persists installing from f-droid. I understand that the above solution is a fix (thank you for that), however that means losing everything already done in termux-app. Can anyone please upload a termux-gui package in f-droid that matches the current f-droid termux-app ?

Thank you in advance.

[tareksander]

You could put all you need in an archive, copy it out of the Termux home folder, reinstall Termux from Github, copy the archive back and unpack it again.

I can't do that, the people at f-droid have to to that. I already have a PR open, but I'm waiting for a response.

thank you both @tareksander and @Grimler91 for the replies and good suggestions. I was trying to avoid the backup and reinstall due to the various symlinks that would be followed or lost.

You have to install everything from Github, including Termux:API and Termux:Styling:
https://github.com/termux/termux-api/releases/tag/v0.50.1

For Termux:Styling there doesn't seem to be a apk available in the releases, and all the Github Action builds have already expired, so you just have to uninstall it for now.

Any progress?

[tareksander]

Any progress?

Not from the f-droid side, but I want to add a plugin system to Termux that doesn't require shared UID, which would also solve the issue: termux/termux-app#2654
With how long the issue hasn't been solved at f-droid, the new plugin system is probably finished and Termux and Termux:GUI updated to use it before f-droid fixes it.

[freebrowser1]

Here not working as well. Then tried with adb:

adb install com.termux.gui_5.apk 
Performing Streamed Install
adb: failed to install com.termux.gui_5.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE: Reconciliation failed...: Reconcile failed: Package com.termux.gui has no signatures that match those in shared user com.termux; ignoring!]

[tusharkr1918]

It still not working, any suggestion about it?

[Morphic-droid]

As of 6/15/22 it STILL won't install!

[theotheroracle]

the issue is with fdroid and is slow to resolve ( https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/10240 ), the plugin system for termux is being worked on ( https://github.com/termux/termux-app/issues/2654 ) and will also adress the issue when its completed, until then not much can be done .

[Morphic-droid]

Understood. Thank you
