I've got a couple of apps that I don't want to update. Is it possible not to have them listed in the play store to be updated?
Question How to remove app from update list?

Not sure if this still works but they're are bound to be more ways:

does the regular ol' going to the app in Play Store and unchecking the "enable auto update" not work? i do this for the YouTube app (because i use revanced) and it seems to work well enough...

I always use the manual update method. I always did the same with Microsoft until they basically forced everyone to accept their updates. At any rate I have never found what you are looking for. All you can do is pick and choose what gets updated manually.

This is what I've used for a long time. It works better if you install it and then run it in Termux to have a recurring 30 min cronjob that continuously removes it from updates.Not sure if this still works but they're are bound to be more ways:

Yeah, I already do manual updates. The apps still show up to be updated though. If they could be removed I actually could use automatic updates. lol
that's weird...all my other apps automatically update...
the only annoyance is if I do press the "Update All" button, I have to press "Skip" when there is a single popup for updating Youtube (since it's checked to not automatically update). That and Youtube is perpetually there in the updates page; instead of "No updates available"....
I take it you can set individual apps to automatically update? I have disabled automatic updates globally.
I have it set inverted than that...mine is set that I have enabled automatic updates globally and individually disable Youtube to automatically update. So it works out with what you said in your OP (below):
My "couple of apps" don't update, while all the other apps I don't specify to automatically update do...
Sorry, to be clearer, is there any way to detach apps from the playstore without root? I also have youtube and 1 other app set to not auto update but would prefer to detach from playstore altogether...
I imagine there might (a very much long shot) be some kind of adb command you might be able to do...maybe...
I wouldn't begin to know what or how to go about it, but researching that intention with "adb command" in the search query might prove fruitful; if there's anything out there on this possibility...
Yeah, there is way.
Use APK Editor, change the app version and versioncode, re-sign it using new key, and reinstall it.
it wont appear in playstore update list, since the key is different, and the code is also newer (you can match the code with one from playstore if you want)
I use this method to bypass force update dialog in certain app. The newer version of the app remove plenty of features, so i rather stay with older version, but then they applied force update features. So i do the mod above
Would that recurring job translate to:
Run su -c detach -t (or su -c detach --task-scheduler)? The cronjob would require BusyBox I reckon? Care to give me a nudge how to go about it? Thanks.

You don't need a recurring job with TeMeFi. You can uninstall after using.
Yeah, make sure you have Busybox for Android NDK Magisk module installed, then "su -c detach -t" in Termux. Choose option 2 - Crond, then set your preferred interval. (30 min works well for me)
