Youtube also does this. Basically it says "To see list of changes, look in the app guide" or something like that; no morons, I want to know what you changed BEFORE updating.

Isn't Chime a predatory lending app?
i dont know if they do lending but the banking side of it is convenient enough. I use it to send/recieve money to my parents cash app is too complicated for them, i dont use it as my bank account.
I think a lot of times they don’t want you to know what’s been updated. For instance, pointing out all the bugs you’re fixing might make your app look like it’s always full of bugs. Or the security fix might draw attention to issues that exist for currently outdated apps.
Not saying it’s a good reason, but maybe that’s their thought process.
This happens when the developers are incompetent. The app should probably be avoided as the people making it have no clue what they are doing.
It least Instagram straight up doesn't give a changelog, rather than letting you read dumb exposition that tells you nothing. (Thats still crap tho)
That sucks
I just want the changelog....
I am sure you can automate that in your ci cd thingy
Also happens with some apps on fdroid. "Update available" - click to see, nothing there
That's been a joke in the Playstation community for years now:
"Stability Improvements."
Well, shit, we must have the most stable system in the universe at this point...
lmao
I asked this on the Motorola sub when i first got my phone and no one gives a shit.
The changelog was always something like "various bugfixes and stability updates". removed, what did you do?
Hey I think your instance censored your post in case that’s unpalatable to ya
(Prob was a word I personally never use heh but the removal is grating anyways, oddly enough)
I know and it's annoying that I can't say female dog
Pumpkins and... hay...?
Also fuck all these ads reminding me its going to be cold soon.
Because there's a very strict character limit on the Google Play store side for update messages. So if it's a bigger update, all I can do is put a summary of the changelog there.
Change long Probably be like
-- Fixed typo that corrupted the database
-- Fixed hardcoded credentials
Change logs are kinda hard to do in a CI/CD environment because of the way that development style works.
It's actually pretty challenging in general. Not sure you've ever built a change log before but it's a pretty interesting exercise thats easier said then done. Even open source logs just copy paste the commit log which can be not all that helpful.
People deserve to know what they are installing on their device. Period
The first one is cute one time. When it starts to become a pattern, it’s laziness. Especially when it’s copypasta, which it usually is.
Whats New in this Textra update?
-
Bug fixes
-
Improvements
AFAIK discord does it on the app.
But its more convenient if they added it to the changelog.
A developer here, I usually list user - facing changes in the Changelog.
Even if the changes are not listed, general "bug fixes and performance improvements" is a worthwhile update too. These updates can contain fixes to annoying UX glitches, or really speed up the app, if a new faster API endpoint was added to the backend, and app change is needed to make use of it. You will also get security updates, to the app and its bundled libraries which is important nowadays.
but why not list those specific changes instead of just saying “bug fixes and performance improvements”? If the changelog is character limited on app stores cant you put a link to a dev blog or something? I want to know what is being changed on apps that have access to data on my phone. I have permissions off on every single app because of this, you literally never know what they are doing. All im asking for is transparency. Tumblr has a dedicated blog where they talk about updates but spotify just doesnt even give a shit.
Im a dev too i dont understand the modern app development landscape, how hard is it to just tell users what they're getting??
