Security & authenticity

Security rating: Trusted

Signing certificate

Signed with Android's public test key This key is published with Android's source code, so anyone can sign a file with it.
The same certificate signs apps from 141 different developers Developers sign only their own apps, so this almost always means the files were re-signed by someone else — often after being modified.
Other versions use a different certificate v3.62d and v3.62b1d. Android normally won't update an installed app with a file signed by another certificate, and a new certificate can mean a different publisher. v3.62d · v3.62b1d
