Steps to reproduce

Once installed, application turns up with a version name that does not quite match what is extrapolated from Github

Expected results

I use Obtainium for getting the app and its updates, but the application turns up with a version name that does not quite match what is extrapolated from Github, and then Obtainium thinks it is a different version and suggests updating 😅

Sorry, we do not use "releases" on GitHub in the same way as other projects, which is probably why it's not compatible with "Obtainium". We only have one release called "latest" that represents the current Alpha build, and gets re-created with each merge to the repository. For production (stable) releases, we just use git tags.
If you really want to use the Alpha version of the app, you can just install the alpha APK from the "latest" release, and it will show you notifications about updates automatically.
