I keep getting notified that I should upgrade my newpipe apk to a newer version through a url. F-Droid only has up to v0.25.2 but the latest is v0.26.1. It’s been like that for >1w (the discrepancy), is this usual for F-Droid repos? Or something with my installation is wrong?
Version 0.26.1 (and 0.26.0) hasn’t been published on F-Droid yet because it couldn’t be reproduced (meaning that the app as built by F-Droid wasn’t completely identical to the one published by the NewPipe team). The problem is tracked here:

Just add the official Newpipe repo to F-Droid.

- I wasn’t sure which account I typed out that comment on.
- Some people only look at one thread.
Is that a good enough answer?
Sorry, I didn’t see that you were on Mastodon, that explains it.

No worries. I’m expanding my feeds to include more of ActivityPub (except Fakebook’s most recent malware).
Yup, fdroid repo is slower paced probably for stability sake. If you want to keep up with the latest release I recommend using obtainium, it fetches the apk directly from the github.
That apk can check for updates itself, too
Yup, it didnt check newer versions before but I did notice the new update checking in newer versions 👍
The main fdroid repo has always been slower and If you take a look at “this week in fdroid” There are a couple of notes about newpipe being out of sync So they are aware of it

I’m seeing 0.26.1 on F-Droid on my end. Try copying and pasting this into your repo list:
https://archive.newpipe.net/fdroid/repo/?fingerprint=E2402C78F9B97C6C89E97DB914A2751FDA1D02FE2039CC0897A462BDB57E7501The official F-Droid repository has always been slow to update, I think there’s a specific Newpipe repository that you can use instead.
Yeah, this one: https://archive.newpipe.net/fdroid/repo/
I wonder if this is what I use, Newpipe always updates itself for me, not Fdroid.
I think, NewPipe has an auto-updater built in, if you don’t install it from an F-Droid repository.
Oh ya maybe, I may have just gotten the apk for it at the time. I really should keep better notes!
