It seems there are 2 official F-Droid clients available. org.fdroid.fdroid and org.fdroid.basic. Can someone please tell me what’s the difference?

Fdroid can share Apps from people with Fdroid near it.
Fdroid basic can’t do that, but with Android 13+ you don’t need root (and jump through hoops) do do automatic updates with it. Fdroid needs you to confirm every single file to be installed (without things like privileged extension)
Android <13: Fdroid
Android >13, Generally Fdroid Basic, and Fdroid for edge-cases where Fdroid Basic crashes, or the Internet is down but you really want to install a new app that your buddy has.
Many thx. In that case, the basic version is fine for me. Automatic updates are a thing I have waiting since a loooooong time. I try to test that function immediately.
I have tried to trigger the auto update/unattended update. I have installed a old version of a app. I get notified about the new version, but at least as of now, it isn’t updated automatically.
I will wait 24h in hope that it trigger the update later automatically, but I don’t know if I have to setup something besides the usual automatic refreshing of the repo and enable “Automatically fetch updates”. I have not found a additional switch to “Automatically install updates”.
