Security & authenticity
Signing certificate
- Certificate issued to “ByteDance” Not the developer's name (“TikTok Pte. Ltd.”). Names in certificates can't be verified, so this alone proves nothing.
- The same certificate signs apps from 5 different developers Developers normally sign only their own apps. This can mean the files were re-signed by someone else — or that one company builds or publishes apps under several names.
