What's new in v0.1.3

First release

Description

From the listing uploaded by “split-store”.

The Spark Core companion app pairs with the Spark Core, a tiny Wi-Fi development board that makes it easy to create internet-connected hardware. The Core is all you need to get started; power it over USB and in minutes you'll be controlling LEDs, switches and motors and collecting data from sensors over the internet! This app will help you connect your Spark Core to the internet over Wi-Fi and control it without writing a single line of code! Our sandbox for the Spark Core, which we lovingly call "Tinker", will help you get your prototype or project up and running in minutes.

Spark Core APK: questions and answers

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 Spark Core APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 6c30bb47822c19a2e45082b32a9a809d.
