What's new in v0.9.7
Updated SecureTether for compatibility with Android 10:
Android 10 requires apps to have permission to access the device's location to be able to access WiFi Direct (see https://developer.android.com/about/versions/10/privacy/changes#location-telephony-bluetooth-wifi for details). SecureTether does not use, record, or forward this location information in any way, but does need to request this permission now in order to be able to create the hotspot on Android 10 devices.
Permissions (7)
This version requests 7 permissions, 1 of them sensitive.
- Precise location Sensitive android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
- Change wifi state android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE
- Full network access android.permission.INTERNET
- In-app purchases (Google Play Billing) com.android.vending.BILLING
- Prevent the device from sleeping android.permission.WAKE_LOCK
- Run foreground services android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE
- View Wi-Fi connections android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE

How to install SecureTether WiFi on Android 4.0+
You'll need about 26.7 MB of free space.
- Download the APK — tap Download APK above (13.3 MB). Chrome shows “File might be harmful” for every APK file; choose Download anyway only if you trust this file.
- Open the file — tap the download notification, or open Files › Downloads and tap com-panjava-internet-sharing-tethering-mobile-hotspot-secure-wifi-securetether-28-67878594-b02ab1730142020a25afd5b5c192caed.apk.
- Allow the install (first time only) — Android 8 and later asks for permission the first time an app opens an APK: tap Settings in the prompt, turn on Allow from this source, then go back. Manual path: Settings › Apps › Special app access › Install unknown apps (on Samsung: Settings › Apps › ⋮ › Special access). On Android 7 and older: Settings › Security › Unknown sources.
- Check the file (optional) — the MD5 of the downloaded file should be b02ab1730142020a25afd5b5c192caed. If it differs, the file is damaged or was changed: delete it and download again.
- Tap Install — Android asks “Do you want to install this app?”. If Google Play Protect shows a warning, read it before you continue: the source store rated this file Trusted, but only install apps from sources you trust. If an earlier version is installed, this one only installs as an update when it is signed with the same certificate (SHA-1 shown above).
- Open SecureTether WiFi — tap Open on the install screen, or find it in your app drawer.
Common install problems
- “App not installed” — a version signed with a different certificate, or a newer version, is already installed (Android doesn't allow downgrades). Uninstall it first; back up your data, because uninstalling deletes it.
- “There was a problem parsing the package” — the file is incomplete, or your Android is too old (this version needs Android 4.0+). Download it again, or pick an older version.
- Blocked by Play Protect — Play Protect checks apps from outside the Play Store. Only continue if you trust the source.
