It's a feature until someone misuses it.
Publishing with zsp shows terms you're agreeing to and walks through steps.
Having users able to search repos and have them come up is cool, but maybe some kind of confirmation showing what it does would be helpful, to prevent these unintentional ones, and warn malicious ones.
It still shows who published yours - I can see both versions on mine. And if the APK's are the same, I can see how it would show both as installed... Though that is confusing.
People aren't used to freedom and the responsibility that goes with it. But it's worth building!

If you search for wisp my app doesn't even show up anymore... Definitely a bug not a feature, and a brutal one at that considering wisp has a hot wallet in it
Yes, the search issue is a bug. I meant the indexing of GitHub repos after a user's search.
Sounds like @franzap will have some fires to put out!
I wonder if v0.16.4 done properly would override it again.
misuses? this is not user error, I literally pasted a url into the search field
... To see if your fork would come up.
I'm not saying you intentionally messed it up. I'm saying this handy indexer is a feature people can misuse (use for purposes other than intended).
This showed it's too easy to make a mistake, or to sabotage, and I'm sure they'll fix it.
These tools are still quite new - I'm glad this first incident was just a mistake, not intended as an attack.
Well done for speaking up.
