Security & authenticity
Signing certificate
- Signed with Android's public test key This key is published with Android's source code, so anyone can sign a file with it.
- The same certificate signs apps from 141 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.
- Signed differently from the Google Play version v01.01.28, which matches Google Play, uses another certificate. Android normally won't update an installed Play Store copy with this file. v01.01.28
