Why do some apps just have a Share button instead of the Install button (These apps are from IzzyOnDroid's repo) ? (lemmy.ml)

This is just my guess, but it could be that it's the wrong architecture for your device. And so you can't install it.

Mind you, that is only a guess.

Edit: The main fdroid client is letting me install it. So it's either an architecture thing on your device or you could try the standard fdroid app instead of droidify

Thanks, you're right! I enabled Izzy's repo through the official F-droid client and it's showing 'No versions compatible with this device'. Finally found the cause, thank you

which client is it that does not tell the reason?

[–] PandaInSpace@kbin.earth 1 points 9 months ago

Droidify. It's otherwise a really good client. I'll make an issue on their github page
