I am getting notifications that updates are available for a bunch of apps, but the version number is the same. Update fails. Package size differs. Screenshot is an example with VLC. I cleared cache, even all data+reinstall, tried other clients (droidify) but the behaviour is the same.

Probably https://github.com/Droid-ify/client/issues/1266 caused by https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/-/work_items/1327 . Should be resolved when they redeploy F-Droid.

Reading through the second link, it says that Droid-ify still uses the legacy (v1) API, why hasn't it migrated to v2? Is there a technical reason or is it just preference?

Looks like migrating to index v2 is in progress, but is already a long time coming: https://github.com/Droid-ify/client/issues/287
