    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.

    F-Droid builds irregularly, which can be problematic if there is an important update. Therefore you are advised to switch to the GitHub release.

    Note that developers have no control over F-Droid builds and the F-Droid infrastructure (apps, forums, etc.).

    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, 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.

    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.

    Note that the GitHub version will automatically check for updates. When desired, this can be turned off in the miscellaneous settings.
