Since months I have a difficult time to install the app easily. Its name keeps changing in the F-Droid repository (I think I’ve installed the French kbd app just to get the main kdb app downloaded), and it looks like easiest is to download the apk from the F-Droid website. Today this surprise with another name change which starts to look like an Eastern egg (Searched on F-Droid site and Fossdroid.com sites and could not find an Israel 64 BDay theme). On another phone, after updating the repo info, the name changed from Norwegian to French, but then the description claims it is the NL kbd app.

Here an example for Catalan kbd app https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.anysoftkeyboard.languagepack.catalan/ suggesting to download the main kbd app manually. If my memory serves me well a few years ago installation was clear and straightforward. So what is going on ?

    I’ve noticed this and at some point started to just download from Github Releases. They don’t update the app often enough that I’ll be missing out on the convenience of F-Droid updates. Funnily enough, whenever I’d do that, the main app would appear as the Catalan language pack on F-Droid.
