Hello, all. Does Boost has any option to save the position I’m currently in? It’s pretty annoying when I’m reading some post, need to switch apps and when come back to Boost it just goes all up to the top again....
The initial use case of Facebook was great. It let me keep in touch with old friends. But as soon as they diverged from just showing my friends posts in chronological order, I removed my account.
When you sign up to a new social network, you have zero friends, zero followers, zero likes. But as you start posting content, you might get more and more
Essentially the apps have same package name but different signatures and the app store that installed it should be the only one to recognize and update it....
This is an f-droid problem. If they use the same package name, they need to use the same signature. That has been the case since long before f-droid existed.
They could just build apks with alternate package names and this wouldn’t be an issue.
Mismatched signatures have been discouraged since day one of Android. A mismatched signature is a sign that some one other than the original publisher built this package, and the user needs to be aware that it might be malicious.
That F-Droid went with this setup with mismatched signatures was always going to make their apks look suspicious.
It’s a problem of trust. Differing signature is an indication of third party tampering. People shouldn’t start to see difference in signatures as an ordinary occurrence. It should be an high alert event.
The package name is the unique id. If you want to distribute multiple variants (like two versions with differing signatures) they should not have the same identifier. If they are not the same the id/package name should not be the same.
Having different package names would also prevent the Google play store from trying to update it.
