- For some sources, data is gathered using Web scraping and can easily break due to changes in website design. In such cases, more reliable methods may be unavailable.
- Check the source settings — Some sources require additional configuration (e.g., GitHub releases need the correct repository URL format)
- Check if the source is supported — Not all sources support version checking equally; some use HTML scraping which may be slower
- Check the update interval — By default, apps update every 6 hours. You can change this in app settings
- Try force-refreshing — Pull down on the apps list to force a refresh
- Some sources block requests from unknown user agents or regions
- GitHub-based sources may need a Personal Access Token if you're hitting rate limits
- Some APK hosts (APKMirror, etc.) may require cookies or specific headers
- Updatium is built with Flutter. If the app crashes on startup, try:
- Clearing app data and reinstalling
- Ensuring your Android version meets the minimum requirement
- Checking if you have the latest Google Play Services
- If you see "Signature verification failed", ensure you haven't modified the APK after download
- The SHA-256 hash in the app settings should match the downloaded APK
