Firmware updates not appearing in the app (piefed.ca)

I love the relatively new feature that allows you to update radio firmware directly through the app. Because of it, I haven't been checking the Flasher for updates. Now I see that I'm several version behind. My app is still showing 2.7.19 as the latest Alpha. The Flasher has 2.7.24 available.

Is anyone else having a similar issue? Does anyone know of a way to get it to update itself?

My app says latest is 2.7.16 for alpha and 2.7.15 for Beta/stable. 😬

I wonder if the app just has hardcoded "latest" values. My app is the latest F-Droid version which was last updated 5 months ago.

I have a feeling you're right on the hard-coded version check based on app version. That tracks with OP's observations.

I haven't gone past stable firmware so I wouldn't know quite yet... But I'll check my Google play Android app when I get home and can grab my device.

That makes sense, given what we're seeing. I hope the app will eventually get smarter about upgrades, but I can't complain too much. It's a new feature and a very welcome one.
