How to get Joplin Android version to udate to 2.9?

[rqk]

I had this same issue last time, but can't find any notes on how to resolve it. My Android Joplin version is 2.8.1. It isn't updating itself. Google Play lists it as the latest version. How can I get this to auto update to 2.9 or force it to update to 2.9?

About the Android version

Unfortunately we cannot publish the Android version because it is based on a framework version that Google does not accept. To upgrade the app a lot of changes are needed and another round of pre-releases, and therefore there will not be a 2.9 version for Google Play. You may however download the official APK directly from there: Android 2.9 Official Release

This is the reality of app stores in general - small developers being imposed never ending new requirements by all-powerful companies, and by the time a version is finally ready we can't even publish it because yet more requirements are in place.

Thanks. That will work. Sorry I missed that in the release notes.
