Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

I got Jerboa from the Google play store mainly for habit, as it's where I get 99% of my apps, but I noticed that there's been a couple releases already and the store version hasn't been updated yet.

Are the updates coming eventually or has the store version been dropped?

afaik it went from 0.0.33 to 0.0.35 on the play store, but github will always have the update before any other source. I've been using Obtainium to stay up to date

I get a conflict error when trying to update to 0.0.35 using Obtainium. Any idea how to fix?

When installing apps from other sources the signature might not match and it won't let you update, you'll probably have to uninstall the old version then install the newer one the first time.

That makes sense, thank you it worked.

The signatures are probably different. You'll have to uninstall and reinstall

It's Google delays not from the dev side. Google needs to build and sign it, but that depends on the overall traffic. So their timeline is always up in the air. Same goes for F-Droid, they also need to build the app and then sign it it can take up to 4 days depending if you miss the set time cycles.

Play Store distributes updates slowly

My Play Store app updated overnight, requiring the latest server side update.

I ended up getting the updated version through Izzy, there's a link shown for it on Jerboa's GitHub page. The Play store was still showing the old 0.0.33 version as current on Friday, but that version kept crashing on startup for me after the Lemmy server update.

Thanks for replying everyone. I now have received the update from the play store too!

My phone was updated via the Play Store to 0.0.35 about 18 hours ago.

I have no idea if it's forced staged rollouts or if it's just the lag syncing new apps across goggle's servers globally, but it always seems to take 2-3 days for everyone to get a new update for any app in Google Play.

It just Google Play being slow at approving updates and whatnot.

Hopefully as lemmy and jerboa stabilize, that won't be a big issue.
