Updates

The GitHub build updates itself from GitHub; the Google Play build is updated by Google Play.

Where the app came from decides how it is updated.

01 · From GitHub
  • Once a day, when it opens, the app asks GitHub whether there is a newer release. That is the only connection it ever makes.
  • A newer version shows on the start screen, the one with Open a PDF. Tap Update: it is downloaded from GitHub, checked against the signature of the app you have, and installed.
  • The first time, Android asks whether the app may install updates. Allow it, then tap Update again.
  • Check for updates on the start screen looks now instead of waiting a day.
02 · From Google Play
  • The Google Play build has no network permission and no update button. Google Play updates it.
03 · Your version
