There is **only support** on the latest Play store version, the latest GitHub release and
the F-Droid build, but **only if** the version number of the F-Droid build is the same as the version number of the latest GitHub release.
There is **only support** for the latest Play Store version and the latest GitHub release because those are the releases that can be built and released at any time.

because Android refuses to install ("*App was not installed*") the same app with a different signature for security reasons.
because Android refuses to install ("*App was not installed*", etc.) the same app with a different signature for security reasons.
At the start of 2024, the Play Store app started to update all apps, including apps not installed via the Play Store.
Since the F-Droid build is signed by the F-Droid organization, which basically means the F-Droid build is another app, updating the F-Droid build will fail.
