Security & authenticity
Signing certificate
- Certificate issued to “Android” Not the developer's name. Names in certificates can't be verified, so this alone proves nothing.
- The same certificate signs apps from 3 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.

Wi-Fi-hotspot 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 Wi-Fi-hotspot APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store flagged this file with a security warning. Its signing certificate is also used for apps from 3 different developers. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is e19475e256e9c9534376db1cd2aa25ef.
