Also coding agents will happily compile android applications (of maximum complexity) via Github Actions where you can just pick them up with Obtainium. No PC needed

An android app that tracks releases to install the latest versions of apps directly from github.

Also it works with private repos too if you provide a personal access token (fine-grained) in the Obtainium app settings. Just make sure to "release" (on the Releases tab) the .apk file on the GitHub repo and tag it latest.

I use 'just' (command runner) and the 'gh' CLI to automate this:

    # Build and publish a GitHub release
    release: apk
        VERSION="v$(date +'%Y.%m.%d')-$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"; \
        APK="build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-release.apk"; \
        REPO="$(git config --get remote.origin.url | sed -E 's#.*github.com[:/](.*)\.git#\1#')"; \
        echo "Releasing $VERSION to $REPO"; \
        git tag "$VERSION" 2>/dev/null || true; \
        git push origin "$VERSION"; \
        gh release create "$VERSION" "$APK" \
            --repo "$REPO" \
            --title "$VERSION" \
            --notes "Automated release for $VERSION" \
        || gh release upload "$VERSION" "$APK" --repo "$REPO" --clobber
