No Latest-Tagged (stable version) Mobile Release for Standard Notes in Github

[Adhjie]

The releases here for mobile aren’t tagged as latest https://github.com/standardnotes/app
Does Standard Notes only released official apk from their website which fetch it from Github ( https://standardnotes.com/ : https://standardnotes.com/plans?downloaded=android : https://github.com/standardnotes/app/releases/download/%40standardnotes%2Fmobile%403.194.9/app-prod-release.apk ) but it can’t be downloaded by adding their website to Obtainium download from web page source?
I know F-Droid ( https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.standardnotes/ ) and google play store version ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.standardnotes ) using aurora store exist, but I’m afraid if I download the pre-release from Github, I’ll lose some functionalities.
Should I also ask this, downloading straight from Github option, to Standard Notes Github issue too?

Hey! You can add this to Obtainium and still download releases from GitHub.

Here's the link to add it to Obtainium.

This was achieved by having pre-releases enabled and filtering by the word "Mobile" in release titles.

I guess, I'll ask Standard Notes too in Github issue about the latest release in Github. For now I'll try the pre-release version, thanks.

Alright, I'll mark this as done. And see SN answer to this request.
And open or edit this again based on SN to-be answer.
The suggestion in SN Github:

Bruh, okay I found a temporary fix. turns out the latest version for SN mobile version is in the in-app patch notes tab. I have turned off background update for SN, and will update it manually when the pre-release version match the patch note latest version.

I got a config from SN user.
Currently waiting if the tag release is possible to be tracked, or the option is only manual; until SN add this as feature in GitHub release as latest for all platforms.

Obsidian (and others that are like this too) to me is the most well-made format for GitHub release that I know up until now:
Follow-up
I still think obsidian release format the best, picocrypt is neat too but, no android for that yet. Though it's still problematic. (Since stable platforms are not in one big release) All the platforms are released in obsidian GitHub as 1 release, so the latest icon in GitHub actually work for all platforms of the app.

To clarify, the APK you download from Standard Notes website is always the newest mobile release, same as if you add https://github.com/standardnotes/app in Obtainium and turn on "Include prereleases". The APK version is not the version of desktop release marked with the green "Latest" tag.

You can see this in https://standardnotes.com/page-data/plans/page-data.json?downloaded=android . Find ".apk" in the page, it's the newest mobile release.
The reason adding https://standardnotes.com/plans?downloaded=android doesn't work is because the JSON-formatted data is dynamically fetched, the static page itself doesn't contain the download link.

Wow, so there's actually a .json for SN website. Let me forward this to SN issue.
So I guess, the mobile version bump is alright then. So SN mobile vs desktop apps in-app changelog are different? also hmm, oh well, I'll try to compare the in-app changelog between Gplay vs mobile github SN apps.
