Description
Describe the bug
Running the FW Lite app on Android (installed via Google Play), I saw a popup "A new version of FieldWorks Lite is available. (Download button)". But clicking the Download button took me to Google Play where my options were Uninstall or Open, because I actually had the latest version available: v2025-12-03-9cc9b680.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Run FW Lite on Android
- Click on Download button in "new version" popup
- Observe that Google Play does not have a new version
Expected behavior
The popup would only appear when the Download button will take you somewhere that has a newer version than what you currently have.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the FW Lite Android app decides that a new version is available and how the popup's Download button targets Google Play. Reproduce the issue with version v2025-12-03-9cc9b680; done means the popup appears only when Google Play offers a newer version.
