yea, and people here suggesting f-droid to change package names are crazy. F-Droid’s goal is not to mess with developers code at all and provide builds as is from the source code.
Comment on Google Play Store listing apps installed from F-Droid that it cannot update

Yeah the worst part of it is that the version on Google Play is actually the older version.
They are shown on the update page for Google’s benefits only. This is anti customer.

It’s not though it’s because the developers use the same package name for the f-droid and play store versions but when the play store checks the signature before installing it sees it doesn’t match and it fails if the developers used different package names for play store and f-droid this would not be an issue
