Android app is not reproducible, diffs in AndroidManifest.xml & 0.dist.js & dist.js & resources.arsc files

Building version 3.10.4 and comparing it to version from google-play, result in below diff:

Changes are:
in dist.js: 2312070 changed to 2340227, what is this number?

-            }, [e._v("2312070")])]), e._v(" "), n("v-ons-list-item", {
+           }, [e._v("2340227")])]), e._v(" "), n("v-ons-list-item", {

The path /home/circleci/repo exists in google-play version in dist.js & 0.dist.js
migration to Github Actions from CircleCI might help with that & #126 (comment) as well..

The other diffs in dist.js are information about packages: bigi elliptic tough-cookie which I guess is cause different tool used to install them (yarn instead of npm, or different version of the same tool)
which is also the diff in 0.dist.js file (information about packages web3 websocket)

in AndroidManifest.xml:
The google-play version conatin additional platformBuildVersionCode="3010004" platformBuildVersionName="3.10.4"

-<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:versionCode="3010004" android:versionName="3.10.4" android:hardwareAccelerated="true" package="org.missmonacoin.monya">

and also the version in google-play contain less entries of intent-filter, looks like duplicates exists in the generated AndroidManifest.xml which should be avoided.

[MissMonacoin]

2312070 changed to 2340227, what is this number?
It's a block number of Monacoin at the time you run npm run build
For reproducible build, it should be commit hash instead of it.

I don't know other diffs for now.

Could you help me with making GH Actions and F-Droid build?
FYI I was working for GH Action at branch gh-workflow.

For reproducible build, it should be commit hash instead of it.

This require change in the code that write this number (to get this value from file in the repo) or remove this line if not needed in code?

Could you help me with making GH Actions and F-Droid build?

Yes, will look at it later, preferable after this issue is fixed.

Regarding the diffs in AndroidManifest my guesses it's because missing "Shrink" directive (maybe on google-play it does the shrink operation?!) in generated build.gradle

minifyEnabled true
shrinkResources true

https://developer.android.com/studio/build/shrink-code

also it maybe cause the work of manifest merger (which for some reason don't run, or run incorrectly)
