Auto update not working on GrapheneOS
Auto update not working on GrapheneOS
I've enabled auto download and installation of updates in the settings, but somehow they are never downloaded and installed in the background, nor when I do "install all", they all prompt me for confirmation.
Is there some setting to change to make it work?
Are you asking about System Updates, the GrapheneOS App Store, Google Play Store, Aurora Store, F-Droid, or something else?
Edit: Didn't check to see what community this was posted in. My bad. It doesn't auto-update for me either.
Yup, strangely enough Aurora Store works flawlessly otherwise, even just updating one app that usually triggered the confirmation dialog for me on my last phone, doesn't happen, and it just updates no questions asked
F-Droid Basic can do autoupdates on GrapheneOS, but has reduced features. For some older, but not necessarily outdated info on this topic, see here: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/16-f-droid-auto-updates/25
Ah that's interesting! Do you think that would be better than, say, Droidify, since I'd have to switch client?
Opinions on that really differ es you might have read, too. I would look at the alternatives in general and choose a well maintained one.
Regular F-droid can as well
I know that they have to be installed once manually, but after that, the automatic updates should work. It's been doing it for me for a long time now.
Running GrapheneOS 2024111800 on a Pixel 7 I get notified, when updates where downloaded but still have to install them manually.
Oh good, so I'm not alone on that, thought I was going crazy because my other non-Graphene devices install the updates just fine
That is my experience on other systems that don't run GrapheneOS, yes
Oh, that's weird. Okay. So it must be a particular graphene thing.
@QuazarOmega Update to latest 1.21.1 (expand Versions) and retry. Some GOS features impeded autoupdates this summer, but that has been fixed.
Oh thanks, done that now!
I noticed this though, I had 2 updates pending after that and the issue seemed to persist with those, is it wrong or do I have to do another round of manual updates for each app to let them be automatically updated in the subsequent versions?
I personally use the neostore no issues with auto updating. Neo store usage f-droids repos bdw.
I might try that, though I personally disliked using Neo store in the past, from the deliberately nonstandard UI to several times where updates just got stuck in a weird state where they are downloaded but won't install and stay there eternally, I just prefer not to rely on it, plus the official F-droid supports application archiving already (in theory, at least, I'm not seeing it yet on my device), so in terms of features it seems more at the forefront to me
