About this APK
Hitch - Rides between Cities is an app by Hitch Technologies, Inc. in the Travel & Local category, listed since at least March 2021. It includes native code only for ARM 32-bit, so it won't run on 64-bit-only phones such as recent Pixels.
Since version 5.4.0, the minimum Android version rose from 5.0 to 7.0. It asks for 41 permissions, 6 of them sensitive, including precise location, location in the background and camera. Compared with version 5.4.0, it adds 7 new permissions (“Display over other apps”, “Detect screen capture”, “Foreground service location” and 4 more) and drops 9 (“Change network state”, “Flashlight”, “Foreground service media projection” and 6 more). The app can read the advertising ID that ad and analytics services use.

Signing certificate
- Certificate issued to “zph-mph” Not the developer's name (“Hitch Technologies, Inc.”). Names in certificates can't be verified, so this alone proves nothing.
