I recently noticed, that the Home Assistant app on F-Droid has been stuck on 2025.11.4 since, well, November 2025.
I tried some searches, but couldn’t find any info on why this is, does anyone here know?
The official releases include the minimal APK for all recent versions.
As far as I can see, the most recent version that isn’t tagged as “pre-release” is 2026.1.6 dating from last week. In my experience, it does sometimes take two weeks until someone from the F-Droid team builds and upoloads the recent version.
Fdroid update builds are automatic. A bot adds a commit about new releases to this repo: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata
E.g. this was the previous release: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/commit/14b7e1f5733778ef3a78aba4347191f795ec9e63
Then you can watch the build status here: https://fdroidstatus.org/builds/build
Sometimes the build pipeline is a little bit behind and a new release may take 1 to 14 days until it is available in fdroid. At least that’s my experience from recent years with fdroid
Fantastic, I’ve always wondered where I can get more insights into the F-Droid build process. Thanks!
Just FYI, there is some issue in the fdroid build process: https://github.com/home-assistant/android/issues/6366
