Hello, I use #K-9 from #F-Droid.
But now it is outdated and stay on 6.717
Google Play Store is at 6.8 and tries to hijack the product to Google Services.
Please transfer the new K-9 version to F-Droid.
Please use different product ID for separation.

@achimm @thunderbird Sounds like a bug in the Google Play app. It shouldn't try to update an app that was installed from a different source (especially not one using a different signing key).

K-9 Mail 6.800 has been submitted to F-Droid and should be available the next time they update their index.

Plesse can you check that the signing keys are really different.

@achimm @thunderbird I don't need to check. The Google Play build is signed by us. The F-Droid build is signed by F-Droid. It has always been that way and there's no way to change it now.

You can test this by trying to let Google Play update K-9 Mail. It won't work if you installed K-9 Mail via F-Droid.

You could try reporting this as a bug in the Google Play app. But you should also be able to disable auto updates for K-9 Mail in the Google Play app.

I had already disabled the auto update. Google don't note that (See Screenshot).
I don't like to test a Google update, because if you are not right I had the
issue to go back to F-Droid however.
For Google it looks as the producht is the same.

Hello, today was a F-Droid index update (included a lot of my used apps) but K-9 is still outdated.
Plesse look after it. Somethings goes not as expected by you.

@achimm @thunderbird The latest build run started (2024-02-29 10:02:27 UTC) before the K-9 Mail update was included in F-Droid's repository. See https://monitor.f-droid.org/builds/build

Looks like you'll have to wait for the next index update.

Thank you for your answer.
I was not aware that a build takes a week.
Is it possible to add a repo to my F-Droid that include the last K-9 build? Please can you share the URL.
