What version of the APK to install? (self.libretube)

So I normally download updates from the Github page and it works fine. It could be because I just woke up (heh) but I can't for the life of me figure out which version of the APK release (arm64, armeabi, universal, x86, x86_64) I should install on my Android (14) phone. I tried the universal one but it says it's not compatible with the current app I have installed on my phone when I try to update it.

Could anyone advise me on this? Thank you so much!

Arm64 is generally appropriate for most modern phones. Armeapi is targeted at 32-bit arm devices. These are uncommon these days. X86 is rarely used with Android devices, since it's broadly unsupported.

Of course Universal is as described, and should work if you're still unsure.

Thanks very much for the explanation. I ended up having to uninstall the app first (instead of updating the current one, which normally works) then I installed the version you recommended and restored my backup. That seemed to do the trick!

No problem, glad I could help!
