Does Android allow installing public keys for specific apps so you don't have to allow all untrusted apps just to install one?
- vertis 5y agoAndroid lets you trust certain sources of APKs, where Firefox/Chrome/F-Droid are a source. Once enabled it will trust any APK that comes from that source (and obviously a browser can then download any).
- josephcsible 5y ago> Does Android allow installing public keys for specific apps so you don't have to allow all untrusted apps just to install one? This is kind of a silly question. The only point of the "Install unknown apps" setting is to make it less convenient to avoid the Play Store. You'll always be asked for confirmation before installing a new app (unless you've rooted your phone to bypass that), and installing an update with a different public key with the existing version uses will fail even if you do confirm the installation.
