much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
They've not updated it there either though. It seems to be less of a case of can't update Android and more of a case of won't update Android
What exactly is the issue preventing them from updating the Android version?
Also, if that's the case, it sounds like "App stores were a mistake" is a bit misleading, since the particular app store isnt the problem.
Basically, modern app stores have changed how they work and now require the signing keys, VLC feel this is a bad thing and refuse to update. Banks are okay with it, but VLC feel more strongly than banks.
Uploading your signing keys sounds like Windows uploading your bitlocker keys
