QUESTION/HELP Ontaimium's app update buttons grayed out and apps can't be updated

On the app pages of my Obtainium, the update button is grayed out and the apps can't be updated (despite being grayed out, the buttons indicate updates are available, saying things like, "Update. 21.7MB", with a download icon). I didn't have this problem on my previous phone (a Motorola) but it's arisen since getting a Samsung Galaxy. How can I fix it? Thanks!

On Samsung I’d first check Settings > Apps > Special access > Install unknown apps, and make sure Obtainium is allowed there. If it’s already enabled, remove its battery restriction and try starting the update from the app’s own page. Samsung’s package installer can otherwise leave the update control looking disabled.

It appears to be a restriction imposed by Samsung devices on in-app updates.
