Element app installed with Apps not updating with AppLounge

Using /e/OS Applications

Since the introduction of AppLounge, my Element app isn’t updating anymore, and is stuck in 1.4.25, while 1.4.36 is available on both PlayStore and F-Droid.

I think that it may be link to a signature issue: the currently installed version could be signed by F-Droid, while AppLounge only find the one signed by the PlayStore (or another provider). But how can I be sure of that?

I know that I can uninstall/reinstall Element, but this not a smooth experience, because of signing keys stored in the device. I’d like to avoid that :slight_smile:

you could try to look in

Settings > Apps and notifications > See all apps > Element > Advanced > STORE

OK, it really says that it is installed from App Lounge, version 1.4.25 (im.vector.app)

Maybe App Lounge doesn’t find the latest Element version? But I don’t know how to find this.

I think that your guess that it is actually from a different source from App Lounge than it was from Apps may still be correct.

As a test, I installed Aurora Droid (it was available from App Lounge, so easier to install), and indeed, Aurora Droid – using only the F-Droid repository – suggests an update to Element (im.vector.app)

But the “strange” thing is that Element has the open source tag in App Lounge, so I was thinking that it came from F-Droid…
