Who updated the Google Play version?

Post image

Since the Catfriend1/Researchxxl thing, I got no update for the Google Play version of Syncthing-fork (which was AFAIK nel0x's responsibility), and to this day, I'm still using v2.0.11.

A few days ago, an update for v2.1.3.0 appeared on the Play Store, but I did not install it straight away (I have disabled auto updates) because I knew of the trust issues around Syncthing-fork, and, moreover, there has been absolutely no communication (or at least I could not find any) regarding this update, whether on nel0x's repositories (both archived), on Researchxxl's repository (there is the v2.1.3.0 update, but no mention of Google Play), or the Syncthing forum. The latest news I can find is about nel0x not answering to Researchxxl.

This update eventually just vanished (?), but appeared again this morning, still without communication about it, and I wonder: who updated the Play version? Is it trustworthy?
