All Android devices require signed binaries and have done so since 1.0.
- noname120 1y agoRed herring. Self-signed certificates have always been accepted, and generating a certificate is a one-liner: keytool -genkeypair -keystore mykey.jks -alias myalias -keyalg RSA The public testkey certificate is also accepted so you don’t even need to generate one.
- NoGravitas 1y agoYes, but then when you update the app, it has to be signed with the same certificate. Android effectively uses TOFU for apk signatures.
