I have a problem where the app shows a new version but when I check in APK Mirror it's just the same version but for bigger dpi devices. Can this be fixed? For example:

Android Messages

While googling i found that some users reported virus in apk that is downloaded from uptodown .

Is it safe in using uptodown in the update source ?:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] yakov116:
Once you have an apk installed if the apk sig does not match (this would only happen if someone played around with the apk) then android will not allow it to install. So updating (only) will never be an issue.

Bug, or strange behaviour/ idea for a better solution regarding notification:

Android TV with Leanback Launcher don't show notifications, like on a Android Phone. Therefore, the "show notification when updated version of apkupdater" won't work for us. This also seem to be a problem if you turn off all notifications from the app: How are you gonna know if theres an update?

Solution: Change the APKUpdater update checker to create a dialog inside the app, rather than a notification.

Thanks for the update, but I think the Google login should be an OATH login via Google (selecting the account via the official account picker) and not typing and sending user name and password (for security reasons) :) Can you implement this?

Changelog 1.5.10

Untranslated strings will display the default English string instead of being blank.

Added polish translation.

Added changelogs to updates. Click on the update to display or hide the changelog. This works for Apkmirror and Google Play.

Self update checks are done as part of the normal update process instead of only happening when the app is launched.

Download: https://github.com/rumboalla/apkupdater/releases/download/1.5.10/app-release.apk

Also available on XDA-Labs.

The app is not displaying any badges. If nova is adding badges it's probably the number of notifications.

This should be fixed now.

This should be fixed too.

As far as I know this cannot be done. The app is not really login into your google account this way. It just connects to generate a Google Services Framework id and its token. Once that's done your email and password are no longer used or stored anywhere.

That's a good idea and it's now implemented.
[Android Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
Thank you for the quick fix.

Here one idea:

Swipe down to refresh like in Chrome.

I have got two issues:

1. The login into my Google account doesn't work for me. I type in my email and password, it starts the Two-factor-authentification, I type in the code but then it's an endless loading page.

2. Apkupdater shows me some apps to be updated via the button 'update' (the background installation) . I perform these updates and it's telling me that the installation was successful. But when I hot the refresh button the same updates are shown again.

I also get a malformed request for Google play services for instant apps.

Apkupdater seems to fix the list of updates to first result it gets instead of sorting the list and starting from the top entry.

In the screenshots attached you can see the focus is on applinker but when i scroll down you can see an update for ant+ above it (there are a total of 7 updates above it)

Can this be fixed so the list starts from first entry in the sorted list rather than the first result while the check is running?

I'm receiving forbidden error as below.

Strange after a couple of tries now the error is gone and everything is working fine.
[Android Apps and Games] tjsuominen:
With 1.5.11 (on Oneplus 5 7.1.1 based OxygenOS 4.5.7) seems that APKUpdater does not currently perform the 'check' Daily at defined time (only APKMirror as site). I have also defined Notifications "Always". It has not been performing the checks for a couple of last days.

Also would like to understand what's the benefit of having "Use own google account" checked if I check for updates of apps that are not on Google play only?
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
For one, using your own google account there is a higher chance of proper apk downloads.

Some apps have different versions of apks available for different device platform, i.e. x86, arm7, arm8, etc.

When using your own id it should properly identify the device you are using, therefore ensures proper apk is downloaded.

This mostly applies to apks such as games and multimedia (music, video).

Currently most devices use arm7, so not many people will be aware of problems, but now more devices using arm8 are being released which might ring some bells, but probably not because arm8 supports arm7.

Second, it is more likely to work. As google tracks everything. Each logon, each download, everything, down to the specific device, exact location, etc.

For more info logon to accounts.google and check security section for more details.

As a result, using common google ids will raise red flags to number of logons, number of downloads, and most importantly Location.

Which might mean that account will be blocked, and will cause needed update of ids by devs.

Side note:

I was having issues logging on using my own account, no option for app specific passwords, and allow less secure apps was already enabled.

What worked for me was to turn off less secure apps, then re-enable it.

After that login worked.
[Android Apps and Games] hyperterminal:
Hello [MENTION=7676946]rumboalla[/MENTION] I found a bug; my internet connection is working fine, even the list of apps with updates gets loaded. But when I attempt to download, it keeps on loading and at last, it says "error downloading". Screenshots are attached. I hope it gets solved as soon as possible. I'm currently on a Galaxy j7 with XPerience Custom ROM. I have a question, I liked the "Use your own Google account" option, but how can I share my password with you? I mean, how can I give one my password while I don't even know him? I'd be waiting for a reply. Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] tjsuominen:
Excellent, this enough is important piece of information.

OK, could you elaborate on the ^^^^ statement, specially "turn off less secure apps" < what does this mean?

I have now enabled my 'Use Google account'. However, e.g. this morning at 7am it was expected to perform a check (with notify all), yet did not return any result from the query. Let's hope this gets fixed. Seems occurred with latest OnePlus 4.5.6 (or 4.5.7) update including July Google security patches.

Bug: Autocheck not working

Problem with 1.5.11 (running OnePlus 5 with 7.1.1 based OxygenOS 4.5.8):

APKUpdater seems not to perform automatic check and notify (set to always notify) at selected time (currently set to 8am). If manually perform a check, it is executed and notified when updates found / not found.
[Android Apps and Games] oroboros74:
Could you please add option to automatically check updates on app start?
[Android Apps and Games] tjsuominen:
It's been there (at least with 1.5.10) with background checking at specified time, but (currently) does not work with me on OnePlus 5 and APKU 1.5.11. Hope something gets fixed shortly :) Manually check works ok.

[Android Apps and Games] Giuskiller:
Doesn't work very well with preinstalled apps. Your app searches for "com.xxx.xxx" so if my manufacturer (Huawei) uses Calculator system app with the same name as Calculator system app by Google or LG or Samsung etc your app show me other apps insted mine. Every system app i tried to update redirect me to another system app from another manufacturer. Beside this, for playstore apps is a great tool, thansk
[Android Apps and Games] tjsuominen:
To [MENTION=7676946]rumboalla[/MENTION]: Found the "issue". On my OP5 with Android 7.1.1 it seems the "non-checking" was due to Battery optimizer as it was/is on "Optimize" for APKUpdater > no autochecks (on defined time) with notification. After changed that to "Don't optimize" it started working again. Could be an issue in OxygenOS 4.5.8 or Android 7.1.1 APKUpdater. Similar issue found with e.g. Drippler.

HTH.

Was using google play option to update apps, but for some apps wrong version was downloaded, 32bit arm7 instead of 64bit arm8.

So I started using own google id,

Question:

Is there a way to enforce own google id, (and not use common id at all), maybe in settings?

Or, separate google and own google id options in Update sources, that way it will look like:

Updates from Google Play

Updates from own ID Google Play

Updates from ...

I bring this up because of connection issues. If own google id fails to authenticate, what happens?

Does an error show? or does it update using provided common ids silently?

Thank you for your time
[Android Apps and Games] oroboros74:
I tried to install this on the Mibox3 but there's no way to update it there. Could you either make it possible to navigate to the update button or add an option to check for updates on launch?
[Android Apps and Games] Daekin:
Feature suggestions:

implement better filtering for unsupported platforms from APK Mirror - filter by app title - eg. on the phone filter out all XYZ (Android Wear), XYZ (Android TV) and XYZ (Daydream)

add ignore button to update tab - it will ignore that one specific version and will find other versions on next update check

when multiple higher versions found, make possibility to choose which version to install (sometimes the latest version can be unstable so it will be easier to find lower version)

this one is probably hard to achieve: ignore mismatched signatures (to filter out same system app signed by different manufacturer) - eg. com.android.calculator2 (exists by both LG and HTC)

[Android Apps and Games] Dr. Bak:
Hello first post here

Im not a developer, but hey I really wanted to ask something.

Would it be a feasible feature to add custom github repos, at least the ones that provide up to date .apk downloads?

Take for example azaidi's launcher: I couldn't find his app anywhere out of his github (probably due to name conflicts).

By adding manually the url "https://github.com/amirzaidi/Launcher3/releases", would APKUpdater be able to check the latest version available?

In case the answer is no, is there any other app that would be able to do so that I'm not aware of?

Thanks a lot, APKUpdater is amazing by the way.
[Android Apps and Games] m_a_schuster:
I have successfully run this utility on all manner of devices except one. Tried the last two revs on my wife's old Galaxy Tab 2 (ex-Verizon, running on wi-fi) which has, I believe, Android 4.1.2.

The list of installed apps is populated and accurate. Any attempt to do a search for updates (2nd pane) or search for apps (3rd pane) causes apkupdater to abruptly quit. Nothing in the log on restarting, and no change in the displayed items after a restart. Installing an older version of apkupdater, it does not even search for an update to itself on startup, even if so configured.

There is very little on this tablet apart from stock apps, Facebook, and ES File Explorer.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

Thanks for a great utility.

App Keeps Crashing?

Love this app but suddenly it won't open on my phone anymore. It immediately force closes and says "APKUpdater has stopped".

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but still am getting the same result.

The only thing that I can think of that has changed is that my phone did some kind of a system update the other day. Maybe that's somehow the issue?

I'm running android 7.0 (same as before the update) on an Asus Zenfone 3 Max X008DC.

I believe the system update was a security patch.

Android security patch level says November 7, 2017.

Any ideas on how to make this app work for me again would be very much appreciated as I use it all the time.
