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?
The 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!
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 👍
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.
@LIE
No worries. I’m expanding my feeds to include more of ActivityPub (except Fakebook’s most recent malware).

I’m seeing 0.26.1 on F-Droid on my end. Try copying and pasting this into your repo list:

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
