Sometimes I can understand this struggle. For example let's play a game. There is this app from e-foundation "Blisslauncher" it's the default of eOS. And since I like it but don't use eOS I want to download the apk from their gitlab page.

https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/os/BlissLauncher

So tell me, where is the latest release apk?

Is the only option to download build artifacts?

Yes, and they come in three variants, apiQ, apiS and apiR. And I don't understand the difference.

What's with the codenames? They're making me hungry lol

They actually call the android releases "cookies" because of this tradition for the code names. You can read phrases like "This will be fixed in the next cookie"
