F-Droid build not reproducible

It seems the only diff is that pg-map-id is different. Could you please take a look? Thanks!

your local tool versions is different?

[arsvechkarev]

If I understand correctly, tool versions i=gradle version? If yes, then it is true, my gradle version is 8.5. Should I update it for the build to pass?

It's easy to fix. But the apk is still not reproducible. https://gitlab.com/linsui/fdroiddata/-/jobs/6306448147

diffing the APKs from the CI above and the released one

there's a difference in baseline, and a difference in classes.dex

upon dissembling classes.dex via apktool the smali files are identical, oddly enough 🤷

trying directly:

$ diffoscope classes.dex classes-2.dex
--- classes.dex
+++ classes-2.dex
├── dexdump -a -d -f -h {}

@arsvechkarev can you clean caches, gradle caches, etc and rebuild the APK?
