[ANNOUNCEMENT] Response Regarding Google PlayStore App Updates · termux termux-app · Discussion #4000
More context is needed to understand this post
The tl;dr is that the play version of termux has been lagging behind the master github branch because of Google's fuck fuck games with Android permissions. Now it's been updated, but effectively neutered.
For those with Termux installed, the Play Store is presently trying to update them due to a release that was made by the team member in charge of the Play Store account. The new Play Store release targets a newer Android version than the present F-Droid release, but is based on an older branch. Currently, F-Droid is in limbo, because it needs to be updated to comply with newer Play Store requirements, but to do so would break Termux as we know it. The Play Store build attempts to mitigate that.
All of this is in the linked thread but I just woke up from a nap and am feeling generous.
Easily solved: use F-Droid
