Tor Browser through Obtainium

Duct9143

Is there a way to get the Tor Browser apk from the official website into Obtainium? Updates often take a while to appear on the Play Store.

Duct9143 It appears not. I don't see prebuilt apks on GitHub, so Obtainium would have nothing to download and install.

Yes, you can just grab it from your URL using the HTML source. Or from https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser. I use the latter one with the following settings:

URL: https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser
Intermediate Link: \d+\.\d+(\.\d)?/$
Filter APKs by Regular Expression: tor-browser-android-aarch64-.*\.apk

Obtainium can far more than just GitHub. ATOW:

Intermediate Link: \d+.\d+(.\d)?/$
Filter APKs by Regular Expression: tor-browser-android-aarch64-.*.apk

This is not working for me. Any chance there is some other option to be set?

When i try this, obainium returns "could not get ID from apk"

My bad. I never use any of the other ones so I forgot.

doublefree thanks, this worked. Regarding Telegram: Obtainium finds an APK on their website, but it doesn't recognize that I already have it installed from the Google Play Store. I'm guessing the website version is different somehow?

For Tor Browser Alpha version: it needs slightly different Intermediate link, as follows:

URL: `https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser`
Intermediate Link: `\d+\.\w+(\.\d)?/$`
Filter APKs by Regular Expression: `tor-browser-android-aarch64-.*\.apk`

Reason: because you need Alpha builds version for about:config page.
Which is now disabled in standard version.

Duct9143 From what I understand about Obtainium, I believe you would have had to install Telegram using Obtainium for Obtainium to recognize that Telegram is installed.

Duct9143

treequell That's not how it was for any other app I added to Obtainium.

doublefree

Duct9143 because if you install from GitHub, Obtainium tries to infer the App ID from source code. Otherwise Obtainium has to install the APK to get the App ID.

doublefree Thanks for the clarification!
