APKUpdater

APKUpdater is an open source tool that simplifies the process of finding updates for your installed apps.
It provides similar functionality to an app store, but instead of depending on a single source, it aggregates the results from APKMirror, Aptoide, F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid, APKPure, GitLab and GitHub.

The 3.x branch is a full rewrite using modern technologies like Jetpack Compose, Flow and WorkManager.

3.9.0 – a new look, and skipped versions you can see again

This release completes the redesign that 177 and 178 began.

Skipped versions. The ⋮ menu on the Updates tab now offers Show skipped (N): the versions you skipped appear, dimmed, after the others, each with an Unskip button. Until now a skip could only be undone all at once, from Settings. The scheduled-check notification no longer counts skipped versions, so a version skipped for good stops bringing the notification back.

Settings. Rows sit in rounded groups, each with an icon, as in Android's own settings. A switch toggles from anywhere on its row. UI and Utils are now Appearance and Backup and tools, and the About row shows the version.

Bottom bar. A floating rounded panel. Only the Updates count stays red; the Apps and Search counts are plain figures.

APKMirror warning. The dialog has a risk sign, and the button that accepts the risk is drawn in the warning colour.

On a TV:

• every Settings page puts the focus on its first row;
• the check hour and frequency open with a short press of OK (they needed a long one);
• a custom repository's delete button can be reached with the remote;
• Skip no longer drops the focus to the bottom bar.

Also fixed: the check-hour slider showed 0 twice.

Earlier steps of the redesign: 177 (start screen with a tile per source), 178 (new update cards, Home button).
