Thanks for the feedback.

This can be implemented for the website and F-Droid flavor.

Until we address it, you can download the APK and simply install it over your existing installation variant, as soon as there is an update via the normal way, so for example the 1.8.0 is released, this would be updated as usual, even if you have now installed the 1.8.0-beta1 manually. You can download the APK from https://github.com/cryptomator/android/releases, please check the SHA256 before installing.

Download Cryptomator-*_fdroid_signed.apk for the F-Droid variant and Cryptomator-*_signed.apk for the website variant.

Thanks for the answer. Will wait for this feature :)

I've already installed the beta and found a little problem with version parsing I guess.

Current behavior:

• Beta wants to downgrade to 1.7.5 when I click on "Check updates"

Expected:

• Showing "No updates" message if there are no new beta or stable builds.
