[Bug]: Can't upgrade Android app from Github

[solarkraft]

What happened?

When attempting to upgrade the Android app, for example from 1.4.1 to 1.4.2, installation fails with "App not installed as package conflicts with an existing package".

The workaround is uninstalling the app, which means losing all data, unless the document path has been changed (one reason #255 matters).

Do you installed the app using the store? You cannot update the app through github if you installed it using playstore/fdroid

[solarkraft]

The last releases have been installed from Github, as seen in the video.

I have installed from F-Droid at some point, but that's a relatively long time and many releases ago.

In the video you see me freshly installing from Github and the attempt to update also from Github fail.

Okay, I added signing to the apk.
For the last time you need to uninstall it and reinstall it to use the 1.4.3.
After that it should work normally

FDroid and Play Store signs the app with their own signing.
That means that you need to uninstall it to use the store versions
