What's new
- Important
- This is the last APKUpdater OSS debug build.
- Starting with future releases, debug APKs will no longer be published.
- Debug build users should migrate to the release version. Android cannot install the release APK over the debug APK because they are signed with different keys, so export your settings, uninstall the debug build, install the release APK, then import your settings back.
- New
- Refreshed the app visual style: new cards, top bars, bottom navigation, and screen layouts.
- Added a custom APK save folder setting.
- Added a warning for debug build users before switching to release builds.
- Improvements
- Improved APKCombo parsing and variant selection.
- APKCombo now uses real versionCode values from download pages and filters variants by device architecture correctly.
- Improved changelog rendering in the self-update dialog: Markdown is no longer shown as raw text.
- Fixes
- Fixed custom theme readability issues.
- Fixed top bars overlapping the system status bar.
- Fixed false APKCombo updates caused by generated/fake versionCode values.
