I tried to install version 1.63.7 from F-Droid archive to tablet Amazon Fire HD8 (2018 release, it has 64-bit CPU but OS is 32-bit) but install fails with an error "App was not installed". I was able to install that app to newer tablet (Fire HD8 - 2022 release, it has 64-bit OS).

I can install version 1.63.7 from GitHub to older tablet, no issue...

I understand that this issue is related to F-Droid, they build application in a wrong way. I do not know how to report issue to F-Droid and I wanted to highlight that there is an issue...

Hm, that is quite a bit strange as the F-Droid version should be built with the same set of native libraries as the one on GitHub. In theory, the only difference is with what key it is signed 🤔

Anyway, thanks for filing an issue about that! I will see if there is something I can do.

If you want to report this to F-Droid, you can do that here.

I am seeing this strange compatibility issues too. I am trying to narrow down what it could be. Here's an example that might be helpful.
F-Droid, Google Play, Aurora Store all seem to believe this device is compatible: Google Pixel 7a, API 33, arm64-v8a.
But the all seem to think this device is not compatible: Google Pixel Tablet, API 33, arm64-v8a.

The Github apk installs on both devices, so there doesn't seem to be a compatibility issue with the app itself, but the stores for some reason are blocking that tablets and allowing the corresponding phone.
