From a version code can quite easily get the version name by downloading the APK. Could test range of version codes, but I suspect that they can be arbitrarily large. Furthermore, Google servers may cap requests per second if not ban, so quite not doable. Could make a database where people submit and we verify, at least retrospectively, otherwise could every webscrape Play Store apps. ```bash curl https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.thoughtcrime.securesms | grep 167001 ``` does not return anything contrarily to: ```bash curl https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.thoughtcrime.securesms | grep 8\.4\.1 ``` so may need to be authenticated, so this is quite heavy. Related to [Benjamin_Loison/OverClock3000_notifications](https://codeberg.org/Benjamin_Loison/OverClock3000_notifications) `notifyOnPlayStoreAppUpdate.py`. Well can check if the version name changed and in such case use authenticated access to retrieve version code. I suspect that like F-Droid need increasing version codes. [Benjamin_Loison/AuroraStore/-/work_items/40](https://gitlab.com/Benjamin_Loison/AuroraStore/-/work_items/40) does not help. DuckDuckGo and Google search *Aurora Store list app version codes*. Would help [Benjamin_Loison/Google_maps/issues/5](https://codeberg.org/Benjamin_Loison/Google_maps/issues/5).
