I guess this was after upgrading to 1.17.0? A notice about this has been added to the README.md
@WIPocket commented on GitHub (Sep 21, 2025):
Thanks, I havent looked there. Ill leave this issue open for anyone else looking in issues first.
It looks like the recommended workaround doesnt work, as both the APKs available on github use a different signature to the app on F-Droid. I have also failed to downgrade over adb (as the app isnt debuggable). Is there anything else I can try, or should I just wait for F-Droid to pick up the new version?
@bobemoe commented on GitHub (Sep 21, 2025):
If you are happy to lose your local data and settings just uninstall and then you can install the differently signed one. But you probably don't want to reset everything!
As I am rooted I managed to use adb to copy the app data to my computer, then uninstall/reinstall and copy the data back, fix perms and it kinda worked! My channels and setting and previous notifications are all there but my notification sounds were not preserved! I think this is because notification settings are handled by the OS and were either cleared on uninstall or the app now has different ID.
And of course you will have to do this all again to switch back to the f-droid one later!
