  • I cannot update Interstellar from 0.9.2 to 0.9.3 via the APK provided on Gitub. An update error occurs: App not installed as package appears to be invalid

    • I actually noticed the same thing, I'm not sure what the cause is though. I ended up uninstalling before installing the update.

      • That's what I'm going to have to do I assume. I usually install through the IzzyRepo which won't pick up the latest update and has already been notified by me. I also tried through Obtainium which would ofcourse not update either as it's all the same source, but just wanted to test all regular options before I mention it here.

        Can I export settings before I uninstall and reinstall or do I have to start from zero?

        • Wait, I literally just solved the issue and uploaded fixed APK files. You should be able to update successfully now!
