Description

I saw on reddit a post about incompatibility issues with Keepass2Android Offline and realized that the last time we got an update was 2023.

The latest stable release for Keepass2Android here is 1.11-r0 from February 20, 2024, while the Offline version is still on 1.09e-r7.

There are also pre-releases happening in the past weeks for the normal version.

Should we uninstall from Play Store and install via Obtainium since there is also no F-Droid package, and no new releases for the Offline version?

Also, are the packages here and on Play Store signed with the same key, meaning we could use Obtainium to just update the app without even uninstalling first?

We would really appreciate Keepass2Android Offline updates too where applicable since the two versions of the app have different features, but I'd like to know if the Offline version is abandoned.

First confirm with maintainers whether Offline Play Store releases are still supported, compare the listed release channels and signing keys, and document whether Obtainium can update without uninstalling. Done means a clear answer about the Offline version's status and safe update path.
