I’ve using FDroid for some time now, but now it says “it was developed for an older Android version (I’m on 14) and can’t update automatically” I read that FDroid Basic was recommended for newer phones, so I installed and copied my repos (still have both apps) but it doesn’t recognize my installed apps. Am I missing something?

    Tbh the privileged extension might be a security issue, but people expect automatic background updates. I am the manual updater for my Girlfriend, which is… not a really cool job.

    Especially awesome as nowadays you never know when Playstore apps you update are silently implementing Play Integrity check, where GrapheneOS would then fail and the app wouldnt launch anymore. Backing up APKs before every update sucks.

      I agree ! I just pointed out the actual differences. And if you use LOS4uG, you have several options, keep F-Droid as it is, keep it and remove the privileged extension, remove it in favor of the basic version, and on top of the last option see if the unattended updates can be opted out/in.
