F-droid apps are all built on f-droid servers an signed with the f-droid key.
We are having difficulties with upgrading the deltachat script that tells the f-droid server how to build it to our new rust core.
fell free to help if you have an idea.
As far as I know the difference between dc-gplay.apk and dc-f-droid.apk is only the package id and the signature.
the “only difference” refers to the same version number, so if you compare fdroid-0.510.1 with google-play-0.510.1, the only differences, in fact, are the signature and the package-id.
but if you compare fdroid-0.510.1 with google-play-1.0.3 there are tons of changes, 8 months and probably about 100 releases in between.
To Simon: Thanks for the information. Unfortunately I’m not a developer so I cannot help to fix the issue.
I can only keep that recent versions of Delta Chat will soon be back on F-Droid!
Meanwhile I might just have to download the apk and update manually…
