Security rating: Warning

Signing certificate

  • Certificate issued to “ReVanced” Not the developer's name (“Easy Apps (FOSS)”). Names in certificates can't be verified, so this alone proves nothing.
  • The same certificate signs apps from 20 different developers Developers sign only their own apps, so this almost always means the files were re-signed by someone else — often after being modified.
