How to update nix-on-droid?

[auroraanna]

I want to switch to a flake config but nix-on-droid switch --flake ... says that the option --flake is unknown. It is in the readme though so my binary must be out of date. How to update it?

What's in your nix-channel --list?

[auroraanna]

bash-5.1$ nix-channel --list
nix-on-droid https://github.com/t184256/nix-on-droid/archive/release-21.05.tar.gz
nixpkgs https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable

[t184256]

Uh-huh. nix-channel --add https://github.com/t184256/nix-on-droid/archive/release-21.11.tar.gz nix-on-droid and nix-channel --update, then you should have it.

That didn't fix it. The option is still not there.

You need to run nix-on-droid switch once after updating the channel to be able to use the option. Currently, you are still using the old version of nix-on-droid. It behaves the same like nixos-rebuild, nix-env, home-manager etc.

Yeah, right, nix-on-droid switch too.
