It's been a weird situation.

Discontinuing syncthing-android - 2024
But then they list Syncthing-Fork in the docs, seemingly giving the fork their blessing
https://github.com/catfriend1/syncthing-android <-- the fork repo
- doesn't publish to Google Play
- some other person named nel0x publishes the Google Play releases
- Catfriend1 only publishes on F-Droid and GitHub

So I guess your main options are:

For additional info about not releasing anymore on play store from Catfriend1 :

I am no longer publishing this on Google Play

See detailed info about release variants and which is recommended to fit your needs.

"nel0x" has announced to continue publishing on the play store. I welcome his help and the work I think he'll put into his mission. It's up to you, reading this, to decide if to trust and/or support him or go with the F-Droid release channel of this app instead. You don't know me and I don't know him... we are all volunteers in the spirit of open source.
