Need help setting up checking Revanced-And-Revanced-Extended-Non-Root/releases

[bagarwa]

I trying to keep tabs on two apks from this repo - Revanced-And-Revanced-Extended-Non-Root.

1. reddit-revanced-extended.apk
2. tiktok-beta-revanced.apk

For those, I have the following configuration -

        {
            "id": "com.reddit.frontpage",
            "url": "https://github.com/FiorenMas/Revanced-And-Revanced-Extended-Non-Root",
            "author": "FiorenMas",
            "name": "Reddit",
            "installedVersion": "all",
            "latestVersion": "all",
            "apkUrls": "[[\"reddit-revanced-extended.apk\",\"https://api.github.com/repos/FiorenMas/Revanced-And-Revanced-Extended-Non-Root/releases/assets/207509554\"]]",

            "categories": [],
            "releaseDate": 1733552356000000,

(Removed the "otherAssetUrls" part from the above paste, as it was too long.)

But whenever Obtainium refreshes, it throws error saying

Could not find a suitable release [TikTok Beta and Reddit Beta]

Is there something wrong my configuration for these two assets?

[DarkCrypt]

Both configs will work if you delete the end - within the APK filter.

Both configs will work if you delete the end - within the APK filter.

Huh! I thought I had already tried that; but maybe not.
Anyway, there's still an issue where Obtainium is not detecting the newer apk upload, because of the way that's done in that repo.

The overall "release" date is not changing there, which is still showing as "Jun 1, 2023".
But looks like each of the apk assets still get replaced in it. For example, reddit-revanced-extended.apk was last updated "last month" and tiktok-beta-revanced.apk was last updated "5 hours ago". Neither of these apk assets have any version number or timestamp explicitly in their names. So, even though I had last installed tiktok-beta-revanced.apk a month ago, Obtainium says I have the latest version installed.

Is there any configuration in Obtainium to check the last upload time of individual assets in a release, compare that to installed asset and flag an update that way? (I already do have "Use latest asset upload as release date" enabled.)

[ImranR98]

There is a toggle to use the release date as the versiom string. Of course this means you wouldn't have the real version number so it won't try to detect the OS installed version (read the Wiki for details on this). It shouldn't be a problem most of the time.

I have the same problem with Wikipedia Alpha. Release date as version string don't help.

Okay. It worked again with the latest update. Will keep an eye on it.
