What's new in v2.1.0

The efforts in 2019 bear some fruit. We are rebooting the Physical Web as a community endeavour.

Rebuilt from the ground up by the Physical Web Association (PHWA).

Welcome to the next generation of the Physical Web! The purpose of this App is to help you find things you are near that you might not be able to see in a privacy focused manner.

How to install Physical Web v2.1.0 on Android API 16+

Takes about 2 minutes. You'll need roughly 24.9 MB of free storage.

  1. Grab com.physicalweb_2001.apk — hit the Download button above (24.9 MB). If your browser warns about APK files, choose Keep or Download anyway — that warning fires on every APK, not just this one.
  2. Trust your browser to install — on Android 8+ go to Settings → Apps → Special access → Install unknown apps, pick the app you downloaded with (Chrome, Firefox, Files, etc.), and flip Allow from this source. On older Android, toggle Unknown sources under Security.
  3. (Optional) Verify the file — compute the MD5 of the downloaded APK and make sure it matches 2c5408a588a24cd5…. Any difference means the file is corrupted or tampered — delete and re-download.
  4. Open the APK — tap the download notification, or find com.physicalweb_2001.apk in your Files app under Downloads, then tap it. Android's package installer will appear.
  5. Check the signer — the install screen will name the publisher. For this build it should read CN=Android, OU=Android, O=Google Inc., L=Mountain View, ST=California, C=US. If it doesn't match, cancel — you have the wrong file.
  6. Review permissions & tap Install — scroll the permission list, then confirm. If Play Protect flags it, tap Install anyway (this APK was scanned as TRUSTED).
  7. Done — open Physical Web — tap Open on the install screen, or find the Physical Web icon in your app drawer (this build targets x86/x86-64/armeabi-v7a/arm64-v8a devices).
Common install errors for Physical Web
  • "App not installed" — usually means an older or differently-signed version is already on your device. Uninstall it first, then retry. Your data may be lost unless you back it up.
  • "Parse error" — the APK is for a newer Android than yours. This version needs Android API 16 or later. Pick an older build from the versions list below.
  • "There was a problem parsing the package" — the download was interrupted. Delete the file and re-download over Wi-Fi.
  • Works on one phone but not another — this build ships x86/x86-64/armeabi-v7a/arm64-v8a native code. Devices with a different CPU will reject it.
