Some users are confused that the app store page shows only outdated versions, e.g. for the circles app.
For example:

Highest Nextcloud version
Nextcloud 21

This leads to the belief that enabling those apps is insecure and dangerous, but in reallity those apps are nowadays bundled with the server and always up-to-date.

Especially this is a problem for files_pdfviewer.

Solutions I can think of:

  • Remove bundled apps from app store
  • Remove and only forward to a page like "This app is bundled with the server"
  • Add a warning (e.g. like below)

But maybe you have other ideas?


Example for the warning:

When a plugin should still be installed from the app store on Nextcloud N but is bundled in Nextcloud N+1, and both N and N+1 are still supported, a warning would be clearer.

Once all supported versions bundle the plugin, I agree it could be hidden from the app store.

👍 Any of these approaches would be an improvement.

P.S. The integrated app store also displays some of this outdated info, which is even odder since clearly the app store entry no longer has any real association with the shipped app - e.g. nextcloud/server#45717
