Description
Describe the bug
Running F-Droid 1.15.2 with the microG F-Droid repository added and enabled (yes, I tried deleting it and adding it again).
To Reproduce
- Find microG Services Core app in F-Droid.
- Press the install button.
- Get an error message ("Not installed") it the bottom of the screen.
Expected behavior
I expect F-Droid to download and install microG Services Core
System
Android Version: 10
Custom ROM: crDroid 6.13
Additional context
It appears that the apk doesn't exist on the server.
The log file (attached below) includes:
io.ktor.client.plugins.RedirectResponseException: Unhandled redirect: HEAD https://microg.org/fdroid/repo/com.google.android.gms-214816048.apk. Status: 302 . Text: ""
