Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Spike is an App for IMC systems. It’s a simple application that aims at operation with the Light Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (LAUV), but supports any IMC compatible vehicle. It supports live monitoring of data, vehicle teleoperation and commanding plans and other helper commands over Wi-Fi (launcher, come near, dive). It has other interfaces that help you for instance find where the vehicle is using the phone’s location and heading. At the moment it is more tailored for AUV operation, but it will eventually evolve to other types. The main characteristics are: - IMC compatible App (https://github.com/LSTS/imc) - Operate the LAUV AUV (https://www.lsts.pt/systems, https://www.oceanscan-mst.com) - Monitor telemetry - Start plans - Start helper behaviors (launch, come near, dive, keep station) - Interface to find the IMC system relative to you - Interface to teleoperate - Inspect data from the vehicle

Security & authenticity

Signing certificate

Certificate with Google's generic name Google Play App Signing gives the keys it manages this name, but anyone can put it in a certificate, so this alone proves nothing.

Spike 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 Spike 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 43af11144e4db8a2b4b509c9d5167765.
