Maintaining our own AppVerifier directory

Site Development

I think a fork that you guys maintain, that we can contribute to would be a great idea.

This is long winded, but as I can’t read code. I typically download most apks from github and check their SHA256 code they provide, against the apk I have downloaded. Then check it against AppVerifier as well as uploading it to VirusTotal before I install.

That’s just me, but I think if you released it on Github and listed the apks SHA256 for people to verify. I think people here trust you and your Team enough that might satisfy them.

I think this is a great idea, it also provides extra motivation for suppliers to provide them

I think it’s a good idea too , hopefully even add some sort of blockchain verification too ? so we don’t have a single point of trust/failure ?

someone made a fork of appverifier with user database : user database · Issue #232 · soupslurpr/AppVerifier · GitHub

Yeah if you go to their all-enhancements branch of the fork, they have added some interesting features which is summarized in the readme.

It doesn’t look like they have released the APK but I was able to fork and build using github actions as they already have a build.yml created.

@jonah may be a good starting point for the PG fork as it looks like a lot of the leg work is done.
