Remember selected release variant across updates #403

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When an app has multiple release variants to choose from (for example universal vs aarch64), the chosen variant is not persisted. As a result:

  • Updating directly from the “Installed apps” list (or auto update?) does not automatically use the variant the user needs.
  • After opening the app’s detail page, the previously selected variant is not remembered either.

Describe the solution you'd like
Consider persisting the index of the last selected variant in the options list. Then:

  • When the user taps Update from the installed-apps list (or auto update), apply that remembered choice.
  • When opening the detail page, set the dropdown’s default value to the last remembered option.

Additional UX improvements:

  • For repositories that expose multiple release variants, when an installed app has an update available, show clearly which variant name will be installed.
  • When the option list may have changed (for example, new variants were added), the remembered index might no longer map to the same variant — prompt the user to choose again in that case.
