Awesome app. It is somehow not listed on android-foss list so maybe someone didn’t know about it.
Obtainium allows you to install and update Open-Source Apps directly from their releases pages, and receive notifications when new releases are made available.
GitHub page: Link.
It doesn’t work on 64bit only phones annoying
Thanks! I didn’t know about it :)
What kind of apps are you all using that aren’t on Google Play or Fdroid?
I’ve been using it for Thunder nightlies and it’s worked great
Reading the Gitbub page it doesn’t look like it supports automatic updates, so does this mean you get manual prompts to update every single day?! (given that you’re using nightlies)
They don’t seem like they have background installation mechanism right?
I went all of the troubles creating an automation with Tasker because I haven’t found one that worked like Google PlayStore’s auto-update back then.
I wonder if there is a couple of them out there that already has those? Maybe like with shizuku, ADBwidi, or root access?
Edit: typo
They don’t seem like they have background installation mechanism right?
From the readme on GitHub:
Auto (unattended) updates are unsupported due to a lack of any capable Flutter plugin.
If it’s on F-Droid, you can use Droid-ify + Shizuku for automatic background updating.
There are two options that makes me a bit confused.
Auto update apps. Try to install updates automatically
Notify about new versions of applications. Show a notification when new versions are available
Do I have to turn off the later to let the auto-update runs fully in background or It’s fine to keep both enabled?
On the first run, I think I had both enabled and I still tapped multiple times. Shizuku installer worked great though.
