OAuth access is available only for Play Store and Github releases
because email providers permitted the use of OAuth for these releases only.
The responsible for a release, for the F-Droid build this is the F-Droid organization, needs to ask for OAuth permissions,
which mostly involves signing a contract with binding terms and conditions.
which mostly involves signing a contract with binding terms and conditions,
often with the clause that the use of OAuth is exclusive.
Note that you'll need to uninstall the F-Droid build first before you can install a GitHub release
because Android refuses to install ("*App was not installed*") the same app with a different signature for security reasons.

<p>There is <strong>only support</strong> on the latest Play store version, the latest GitHub release and the F-Droid build, but <strong>only if</strong> the version number of the F-Droid build is the same as the version number of the latest GitHub release.</p>
<p>F-Droid builds irregularly, which can be problematic if there is an important update. Therefore you are advised to switch to the GitHub release.</p>

<p>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. Unfortunately, there is no way to resolve this.</p>
<p>Note that the GitHub version will automatically check for updates. When desired, this can be turned off in the miscellaneous settings.</p>
