RE: Hive Keychain mobile release (Android and iOS)

[stoodkev]

This is actually a great question!
All our code is opensource and the community can (and should) audit it on our Github repository.
Our team also have a track record of delivering Keychain for browsers for over 2 years without any incident.

Is there a way to download the Mobile Keychain without going through:

1. Google Play Store
2. Apple App Store??

I read that Google inserts tracking codes into apps downloaded from their Play Store and I tend to believe they would.

Yeah, can you add it to F-Droid please. However, i think Google still know what apps we have even if not downloaded via Play Store. I'm gonna buy a new phone and de-google it and run Lineage Operating system and all FOSS apps.

What I can do in the shorter timeframe (got a lot on my plate already), is proposing the .aab file on Github. APKs can be extracted from there.
@chrisrice you might also want to read this.

Ah okay, awesome!

• If we download the APKs directly, does that mean it doesnt go through Google Play Store?

Yes. However, apps that were installed directly from APKs won't benefit from automatic updates (though the app can still inform you that there is a new update available, but you have to manually download the updated APK again from the source). 🕵️‍♂️

Ah okay, cool! 😀

Yeah, I'd love this too @stoodkev ☝️

• I'd also like to be able to download the .apk directly if possible 👍
