Other distribution channels
The main distribution method of FFUpdater remains F-Droid - this will not change. But you can use the APK files or the F-Droid repository to quickly install fixed versions.
You need to uninstall FFUpdater every time you switch between F-Droid version and my version. F-Droid will not show you new updates if you still uses the version from GitHub/GitLab.
My versions will be signed with this certificate.
The official F-Droid Android client sometimes has problems accessing the APK file from my F-Droid repository. But other clients like "Foxy Droid" work fine.
APK files on GitHub
The APK files are available on GitHub and GitLab.
F-Droid repository
Method 1
Repository address with fingerprint: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tobi823/ffupdaterrepo/master/fdroid/repo?fingerprint=6E4E6A597D289CB2D4D4F0E4B792E14CCE070BDA6C47AF4918B342FA51F2DC89
Copy the address and paste it into F-Droid.
Method 2
Scan the QR-Code and open the link with F-Droid.
Method 3
Follow this link (Add the repository to F-Droid) and click on the next link.
Debug
It seems that this F-Droid repository is sometimes a little buggy. If F-Droid fails to download FFUpdater, try to install the version from the official F-Droid repository first.
On the app page under the item "Versions" you can see from which repository (my FFUpdater repository or the official F-Droid repository) the app version was installed
