Based on that thread, I might just use syncthing from termux from now on. The handling of this situation really does not inspire confidence...
Doesn't Android prevent updates with a different key than is already installed?
It does, I think I'm a bit confused here. I think the apks may be signed with the original key from the previous repo, but that key doesn't necessarily have to line up with what's in the GitHub repo since a lot of the repo tasks were removed or changed. I'll edit my post, but this kind of highlights how messy this handover was, and how confusing it is to users (myself included).
This isn't something you'd really want to mess with, since typically it has full filesystem access.
