⚠️ F-Droid: Do not upgrade to ntfy 1.17.0

9/20/2025

📢 BROKEN ntfy version on F-Droid: I am so sorry, but it looks like ntfy 1.17.0 got released on F-Droid accidentally. Please DO NOT UPDATE, as the app will crash on startup and will not work.

You can join the Google Play beta to upgrade to 1.17.8 (in testing!!) or manually install the .apk file from https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-android/releases/tag/v1.17.8:

• Join beta from Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.heckel.ntfy
• Joined beta from Web: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/io.heckel.ntfy

My sincere apologies. I forgot that F-Droid automatically picks up tags. It's been a while. I suggest that you use the Backup feature in ntfy (Settings -> Back up to file) to save your current database to a json file, just in case.

F-Droid release cycles take a while, so this will take a few days to get fixed. I am very sorry, guys.
