Hey @IzzySoft !
I wanted to know, if I change the repository name, I guess it'll break everything? And if I change the package name too?

[IzzySoft]

Well, F-Droid will survive it. So will my repo. Whether your app will is a different issue:

• if you change the repo name, the old URL will either redirect or not. If it does, that will be transparent. If it does not, there won't be any updates here anymore.
• if you change the package name, you effectively make it a different app. It would no longer match what's here and hence be rejected. Until it's added as a new app, that is. So you should have very good reasons if you want to do that.

I wanted to change "Android Network Scanner" to "Android IP Scanner" but in this case I think I'll just update the name of the app, in the toolbar, in the descriptions etc and let network just for the repo and package. Thanks !

That's perfectly fine! Plenty of such apps around if you keep your eyes open – I mean apps where the packageName doesn't seem to match the app's name, for "historical reasons".

Hey! I changed my GitHub username so changed the repo name too as it would break up things anyway. I will not change the package name

[IzzySoft]

That happened a couple of days ago already, right? I already adjusted it then. Oh, last time you just changed the username-part, I see. The old URL still redirects. Funny that my updater thinks vc 84 is still the latest version, though there were 2 new releases already, and the older ones were even removed. Somehot Github API seems not yet have to caught up. Don't do this renaming too often, please 😉

Argh, now I see. You've also changed the tag name and versionName pattern… So yes, 86 > 1, so it will take a while until it picks something automatically. OK, I've fetched v1.0.1 manually now and adjusted metadata here to match the new naming pattern. Please stick to that now 😉

Sorry that's because at the beginning it was a little project just for myself and only for GitHub so I didn't have to bother sticking to the version patterns, repo name etc... Now I can't change anything anymore 😂. No just kidding, thanks for adding my app to your repo, from now I'll try to stick to this repository and version pattern, sorry for the inconvenience

As long as it was just "finding your way" and is not a "constantly moving target", all is fine, no worries 😃
