Security & authenticity

Security rating: Trusted

Signing certificate

  • Certificate issued to “google” Not the developer's name (“Arturo Gonzalez”). Names in certificates can't be verified, so this alone proves nothing.
  • The same certificate signs apps from 3 different developers Developers normally sign only their own apps. This can mean the files were re-signed by someone else — or that one company builds or publishes apps under several names.

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.
