    I just recently discovered the Obtainium app, which solves this probably neatly. It can monitor and update apps directly from GitHub as well as from many other sources. I switched my Jerboa updates from Google Play to Obtainium, set it to include pre-release candidates, and it updated my Jerboa to 0.0.54.

    Is there a way to manually update? My home instance upgraded and now the app crashes at login (still on v0.0.50)

      you can grab the apk off the releases page (latest is now v.0.0.54-alpha to fix some login problems)

        Thanks. I’m probably not doing it right because when I download and open the APK it behaves like it’ll update the app but then gives an error. “Package conflicts with existing package”

            Thought as much. That solved the crashing issue! Now I just get an error when trying to log in, so progress I guess…

            Edit: Looks like it was fixed in version 0.0.54! So uninstalled again and installed the new new update and it works again yay! I’m impressed by how fast that bug was addressed.
