You can install NewPipe using one of the following methods:
1. Add our custom repo to F-Droid and install it from there. The instructions are here: https://newpipe.schabi.org/FAQ/tutorials/install-add-fdroid-repo/
2. Download the APK from [Github Releases](https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/releases) and install it.
3. Update via F-Droid. This is the slowest method of getting updates, as F-Droid must recognize changes, build the APK itself, sign it, then push the update to users. (**IMPORTANT**: as of the time of writing, an issue is preventing releases later than 0.20.1 from being published. Thus, till this issue is solved, if you want to use F-Droid, we recommend method 1.)
3. Update via F-Droid. This is the slowest method of getting updates, as F-Droid must recognize changes, build the APK itself, sign it, then push the update to users.
4. Build a debug APK yourself. This is the fastest way to get new features on your device, but is much more complicated, so we recommend using one of the other methods.
We recommend method 1 for most users. APKs installed using method 1 or 2 are compatible with each other, but not with those installed using method 3. This is due to the same signing key (ours) being used for 1 and 2, but a different signing key (F-Droid's) being used for 3. Building a debug APK using method 4 excludes a key entirely. Signing keys help ensure that a user isn't tricked into installing a malicious update to an app.
