Using alpha version shared in issue #14.

Obtanium downloaded all APKS flawlessly and applied their app icons, Nice!

In an attempt to mark all apps as installed I used the select all then ✅ icons. But that didn't work. Then I performed that install all function, two apps were out of date. They now reflect in Obtanium as being on the latest version but they aren't actually updated [I assume this is just a once off Error due to the switch to the alpha version]. To remedy, I tried swipe down refresh but I got an error pop-up saying something about Null... I restarted the app and did a refresh again with no error. But the apps still don't detect updates so I had to remove and redownload them since the 'Mark as uninstalled' option is gone. Once I did this they updated properly 👍

• I'm encountering this bug after updating to v0.8.2 of obtainium , this bug didn't exist before
• This bug seems to happen only when the app version number has ".ose" at the end of the version number
• Updating the app again doesn't fix the issue , removing and re-adding the app to the list also doesn't seem to fix the issue.
• I have attached screenshots below for reference

Now that it capable of tracking from different sources, may I request to have a tags or folder to organize the if we have to many projects to track, like this one for example:

Many thanks! ☺️

I do not receive notifications from Obtainium although I setup a background update checking interval. I sometimes opened the app and saw available updates. I have never received a notification from Obtainium since I used it. I have given Obtainium the A13 permission for sending notifications and removed the battery optimization (is that even needed?). The notifications work for other apps of which some do not use FCM but background notifications too.

App version: 0.6.4 Device info: Pixel 6a running GrapheneOS (based on AOSP 13)

Backup update checking interval is set. When at night the flight mode of the device is enabled, I will get a error notification.

I would expect that Obtainium waits until there is a data connection (WiFi or mobile). (Tested on Android 12)

App variables:

• I set my update interval to 6 hours and used a personal access token.
• I have 25 Github apps in my collection, only github.

What happened: I did not launch obtanium after reboots to test whether background update notifications would work. After 3 days I never got notifications. Whilst I knew there were updates because of Octodroid.

Outside variables:

• I shutdown my phone at night
• I turn off wifi and data from time to time.
• Tested with and without android battery optimization on.

After launching and changing app update interval to 1 hour I did get update notifications. But not for all my apps it seemed.

Seeing your comment in #3, it seems that you use RSS feeds to get the APKs from sources like GitHub. Seeing as APKMirror also provides an RSS feed for apps, is it possible to add it as a new source for apps?

Just installed Brave Browser with Obtanium. Issue is it will only select the newest APK, in this case it is Brave Nightly. Ideally there'd be a way to see which apk is which. Maybe we can select from a list that is displayed in web view.

May help some new users who don't have github accounts to Include a lists of common apps to choose from to add. It could be a menu within the import/export tab.

Apps like: Auroura Store Browsers Messengers Simple Apps Suite Mail apps Map apps and other common.

I could put together a list if you like.

The user can make a selection of apps to add and then when they click add Obtanium generates an import file with all the correct preferences (regular expressions etc) needed and adds the apps.

There could also be a warning that some apps releases are not available anywhere but F-droid or Aurora Store.

GitHub has a rate limit which causes updated checking to fail after roughly 30 Apps. This means there is no way to check for updates for Apps after the 30th one, as discussed in #6.

Fix to be implemented:

• Apps should store a "last update checked" date.
• When checking for updates, Apps should be sorted in order of least recently checked to most recently checked, so that the first 30 Apps checked are not always the same 30, but the 30 that haven't been checked for the longest time.
• When the user manually checks for updates, the current behaviour remains; they get an error message when the rate limit is reached. The difference being that when they do it again after 30 minutes, a different set of Apps will be checked.
• Background checking is more complicated as the 30 minute wait and retry should happen automatically, transparent to the user. Does Android allow for a "background task" to run for as long as it needs (hopefully) or is there a limit? Needs testing.

No pressure to implement these sources, as few apps use them, but I figure it would be nice for people to have a place to post niche sources and find information about their support. And to have a place to find out how to add from certain sources.

Currently, the import feature gets rid of imported App categories unless those categories already exist in Obtainium. This should be fixed - categories should be created on import.

Some apps on GitHub use (unfortunately) not proper version labeling. For example: https://github.com/crackededed/Xtra

It specifies installed version as latest and remote version also as latest. But I know for a fact that the installed version is older. What is the best way to handle this? Maybe checking the date or something...?

Hi,

If you add the apps "DAVx⁵" and/or "ICSx⁵" it shows up as shown in the following screenshot:

I guess that's because the "5" is superscript. Is there a way to fix this? It's not a breaking issue, but would be nice to have it shown as ⁵ or if that's not possible just as 5.

Thank you and best regards, Markus

Hi,

If you could provide an adaptive icon for devices running Android 13, that would be great! Obtainium already support the Android 13 API level, so this should be relatively easy to implement and would help the app fit into setups that have a shortcut to Obtainium on the home screen.

Thanks in advance!

Many package managers and other apps have proxy configuration support.

This is especially useful for guarding package managers against MITM when paired with tor.

See how Kicksecure/Whonix and Qubes updates work for example.

I would love to see SOCKS5 proxy or native Orbot support in Obtainium!
