I am currently experimenting with automating app updates.

Through Android

This is not an option as android sucks. Even F-Droid Basic cant do full autoupdates for many apps, as they are not on the supported new SDKs

Externally from F-Droid

This is way less secure than using the F-Droid store itself poorly, as there is no verification.

But in theory you could take the release APKs from the F-Droid website, download and install them. A link looks like this:

 undefined

    
https://f-droid.org/repo/com.simplemobiletools.calendar.pro_240.apk

  

The problem is the naming, which is a pretty random xxx digit and sometimes the date, so you would have to check 999 possible links only to find out that there is no update? Currently I know no better option, maybe using the F-Droid API like all the Android stores do would work well.

From Github releases

This is easier, because https://github.com/creator/app/releases/latest is an alias to the latest tag. Somehow it is possible to get the tag UR
