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.
Is something going on with the repo?

Probably https://github.com/Droid-ify/client/issues/1266 caused by https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/-/work_items/1327 . Should be resolved when they redeploy F-Droid.

Reading through the second link, it says that Droid-ify still uses the legacy (v1) API, why hasn't it migrated to v2? Is there a technical reason or is it just preference?

Looks like migrating to index v2 is in progress, but is already a long time coming: https://github.com/Droid-ify/client/issues/287

Seems to be resolved on my end now

I noticed that many people use unofficial F-Droid clients and wanted to say that unofficial F-Droid clients harm the official F-Droid mirrors because they don't handle them correctly. So please 🙏, if you don't heavily relay on some feature in unofficial client, try the official: F-Droid Basic kr Classic. F-Droid Basic is the most secure too.

What is the source of this info? If it was doing serious damage to them they wouldn't publish these clients on their platform.

@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).

Oh good, it's not just me. On droid-ify, but yeah, same thing.

I noticed this on droidify a few days ago had to disable the update on that version of libretorrent to stop it continuously trying to update.
