Is the PPA repository still maintained?

I found an article from October 2022 in which the installation of the desktop client via PPA has been explained. I am using Ubuntu and was positively surprised, that with the ppa:nextcloud-devs/client repository I could install the packet nautilus-nextcloud. This is great, since now, finally I see the sync status symbols and have the context menu in Nautilus. But the client version is still at version 3.5.4 whilst the AppImage on nextcloud.com is already at version 3.7.4.
Does somebody know, if the PPA repository is still maintained?
If not, is there a way to get the newest desktop client with Nautilus extension?

Not what I’m seeing. PPA is up-to-date.

You have to be on Ubuntu 22.04 (jammy) or 22.10 (kinetic) in order to get the latest version. Older versions of Ubuntu are not supported, respectively they get an older version of the client: https://launchpad.net/~nextcloud-devs/+archive/ubuntu/client

Hello,
NextCloud installs page (Download and install Nextcloud) refers to an AppImage in order to use the sync client on Unix.
I’m not too much comfortable with AppImage apps and prefer ppa when available and official…
Is the Nextcloud development in Launchpad repo an official repo?

It is not the core development team, it is community maintained:

It has been around for quite some time:
