Security & authenticity
Signing certificate
- Certificate issued to “Showmax” The developer's name — though anyone can put any name in a certificate.
- Other versions use a different certificate v80.3.88b7e75325-hms, v78.7.922b1e8149-hms, v63.2.665ee64220 and v47.1.dad0ac135. Android normally won't update an installed app with a file signed by another certificate, and a new certificate can mean a different publisher. v80.3.88b7e75325-hms · v78.7.922b1e8149-hms · v63.2.665ee64220 · v47.1.dad0ac135

Showmax 1.0 APK: questions and answers
Is there a version of Showmax 1.0 for older Android phones?
The current version needs Android 7.0 or later. Version 63.2.665ee64220 is the newest listed build that installs on Android 4.4 and later. It is an old build: apps that rely on online services may no longer connect when they are this old. Get version 63.2.665ee64220 · All versions
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.
Is the Showmax 1.0 APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. Some other versions are signed with a different certificate. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is e8b3295ce27f87a8f2bce11a0bd58632.
