Apps wants to install beta versions not suggested by F-Droid

  • /e/ version: 0.15, but probably all affected
  • Device model(s): FP3+, but probably all affected

Summary

Apps should only suggest to update to App versions that are marked suggested by F-Droid.

Description

What is the current behavior?

"Apps" suggests to update to versions of Apps (not the "Apps" App, but other Apps 😉) that are not marked suggested by F-Droid. So if some alpha version of an App gets added to F-Droid which is not intended to be rolled out to everyone, but only those who want to test it, "Apps" will still suggest to install it.

What is the improved behavior?

"Apps" should only suggest to install those App versions that F-Droid suggests, not the alphas, previews, release candidates, etc..

What does it bring?

More stability and less frequent, possibly unnecessary updates.

Examples

I attached a screenshot of all F-Droid versions that "Apps" notified me to install, but that are clearly not intended for everyone to install. fdroidversions
