I am getting notifications that updates are available for a bunch of apps, but the version number is the same. Update fails. Package size differs. Screenshot is an example with VLC. I cleared cache, even all data+reinstall, tried other clients (droidify) but the behaviour is the same.

    @BeatTakeshi they appear to be different architecture versions of 3.7.0

    I was confused too since Droid-ify didn’t seem to list the architecture of the versions, and while it did download the latest version that’s 49MB, it didn’t install because it’s x86_64 apk, which won’t install on arm64(-v8a).
