TAO 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 TAO APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Unknown. It is signed with a debug certificate, which is meant for testing, not for published apps. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 0af9eeba13be387b3674a86f16f0bc4a.
