[App Lounge] CoMaps - dealing with brand new apps that are available in Play and F-Droid repository

  • /e/OS version: e-3.0.1.-t-community
  • Device model(s):bluejay
  • Impacted Application: App Lounge
  • Affected application/URL: CoMaps
  • Browser/client and version:

The problem

  • There is a brand new app that has been published in 06/2025 names 'CoMaps'. The app is available in Play Store as well as in F-Droid.
  • The Play Store version (app.comaps.google) is available straight from App Lounge.
  • The F-Droid version (app.comaps.fdroid) is not available from App Lounge. But it should be.

Conclusion

  • Ideally, it would be the other way around (to have the version from the F-Droid repository available in App Lounge as it comes from the more transparent source.
  • Ideally, App Lounge recognises automatically if apps are available in both repositories and favours the F-Droid version.

Steps to reproduce

  • Install the 'CoMaps' app (via App Lounge) - the Play Store version
  • Install the 'F-Droid' app (via App Lounge)
  • Install the 'CoMaps' app (via the F-droid app) - the F-DRoid version
