So I just updated Liftoff manually by downloading the APK from GitHub, however I feel like doing so isn’t the best way to keep the app updated outside of installing the app from the Play Store. I had heard of a way to keep it updated automatically with some app or service but I can’t remember the name. What is the best way to keep this app updated?
As already mentioned, you’re probably looking for Obtanium. There’s also APKUpdater, which hasn’t seen updates in two years but has a 3.0 branch ready for testing. (I haven’t personally used it.)
For Liftoff specifically, I’ll add that it’s available in the IzzyOnDroid repository for F-Droid, which is useful if you’re already using F-Droid for anything else.
Droidify is more like a really nice looking frontend alternative to F-Droid. But it also has other sources it pulls from like IzzyOnDroid and stuff like that. Obtanium can pull from F-Droid and IzzyOnDroid and such but you have to know what you’re looking for, there isn’t really any browsing aspect afaik. Obtanium can also pull directly from a GitHub page. (Droidify may also be able to do this by adding the repo to the sources but I haven’t tried)
Personally I use droidify for everything I can get on F-Droid and IzzyOnDroid and obtanium for the few things that just have a GitHub page
