VLC - App stores were a mistake
VideoLAN @videolan App Stores were a mistake. Currently, we cannot update VLC on Windows Store, and we cannot update VLC on Android Play Store, without reducing security or dropping a lot of users… For now, iOS App Store still allows us to ship for iOS9, but until when?
What exactly is the issue preventing them from updating the Android version?
Also, if that’s the case, it sounds like OP’s title is a bit misleading, since the particular app store isnt the problem.
In addition to the private key thing, the Play Store is requiring them to drop support for APIs older than API 30.
Which in effect means VLC can no longer be updated on AndroidTVs running Android 11 or earlier.
Which is millions of customers, according to VLC
