My #newpipe app says I have an update, but #fdroid says I am up to date. The general settings on #GrapheneOS ( nostr:npub1gd3h5vg6zhcuy5a46crh32m4gjkx8xugu95wwgj2jqx55sfgxxpst7cn8c ) do not allow installation of packages dowloaded via the browser, do package managers/repositories like fdroid just lag behind a bit or what? Should I disable the browser apk install protection? I assume if the app itself prompted me then the apk probably isn't malicious...?

Also I have a few apps in #aurora (for like a week now) which currently have updates available but won't download/install, of which #Amethyst ( nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z ) is one. I think this happened once before & it eventually worked itself out, but I would love to know the cause, or if there is a solution...?

Newpipe is great btw! Many thanks to all who recommended it ❤

Amethyst & Graphene also make the general #Android user experience feel like a massive step up from iOS. Nostr is better, battery life is better, security is better, etc. Genuinely happy with all software mentioned, thank you!

From my experience Obtainium is the best way to get apps on GrapheneOS, so maybe try that.

F-Droid is slow to get updates and the app itself is buggy. Aurora for me barely worked.
