Browser build with AAPS Builder: build workflow version 8, now maintained by the AAPS developers in the nightscout/aaps-builder repository. Setting up is one step shorter: step 1 of the setup page creates your private repository as a copy of that repository, with the build workflow already in it, so there is no workflow to add any more. From now on the build steps are updated for you: your repository runs the version released by the AAPS developers at every build, without any change on your side (and still no automatic build). The build itself does not change, and your existing repository keeps working. To get these automatic updates, replace your .github/workflows/build.yml once as explained in Updating AAPS. Your KEYSTORE_SET secret stays as it is. The optional Google Drive step now works on the setup page itself, on a phone or a computer: no preparation file needed @psonnera
Smartwatches and AAPS: the Samsung Tizen section becomes External Companion Apps and lists the apps that read the AAPS broadcast (WatchDrip+, GlucoDataHandler, G-Watch). WatchDrip+ 0.5 and later connect directly to AAPS without xDrip+: setup steps added, also summarized in Configuration, Wear OS and Remote monitoring. Bluejay watches: GTS discontinued, current model updated @psonnera
Browser build with AAPS Builder: build workflow version 6. The build steps now use exact, reviewed versions of GitHub’s tools and build machine, and the build explains clearly when the wrong text was pasted into the KEYSTORE_SET secret. The setup page is now part of the documentation and translated, checks your GitHub username, and has clearer help for the secret, “Page not found” (404) and the GitHub app. If your .github/workflows/build.yml says version 5 or earlier, replace it as explained in Updating AAPS @psonnera
AAPS web installer: now a documentation page, translated like the others. The old address still works @psonnera
Browser build with AAPS Builder: build workflow version 3 adds the aapsclient3Release variant (AAPSClient3, AAPS 4.0 and later). To build it, replace your .github/workflows/build.yml as explained in Updating AAPS @psonnera
Dexcom G7: removed the patched Dexcom G7 app (DiaKEM), which no longer works for new installs @psonnera
Browser build with AAPS Builder: build workflow version 2. Automatic weekly builds are removed (no schedule, no AUTO_BUILD / AUTO_VARIANT variables, no built/… tags): every build is started by you, with the version and variant you choose, and the workflow only has read access to your repository. If your .github/workflows/build.yml says version 1, replace it as explained in Updating AAPS. Added screenshots for every step @psonnera
Browser build with AAPS Builder: the build workflow is now part of this documentation. No template repository: you create an empty private repository and add the workflow from the setup page (new step 2). The workflow no longer checks an outside repository for updates. If you created your repository from the earlier template, replace .github/workflows/build.yml with the workflow from the setup page as explained in Updating AAPS @psonnera
New page Browser build with AAPS Builder: build AAPS from an Android phone with a setup page hosted on this site, with automatic weekly builds and no preparation file. It replaces the Android instructions of the browser build (File Manager Plus pages removed). AAPS Builder created by @dio99, docs @psonnera

June 2026
