Sky Watch aircraft details — alpha25

Install this ARM64 APK over your existing Construct installation. Do not uninstall.
The existing signed Sky Watch 0.1.0 module does not need updating.

New

  • Common aircraft-type codes become readable names, with reported categories and suitable map/list symbols. Unknown types remain honest unknowns.
  • Combined mode retains known registration/type/category even when another source has the newest position. Live motion stays a coherent observation; identity differences are labelled.
  • Select a plane → More aircraft info. Review the disclosure, then Look up with ADSBdb for optional manufacturer/model/registry-owner and callsign-airline details.
  • Lookups are independent of tracking, cached only in the current workspace, and cleared on leaving. No automatic lookup, photo, route, API key or added Android permission.

Registry owner and callsign-associated airline are not necessarily the current operator. Model type is not proof of a private, passenger or cargo mission. Database records can be missing or old.

Verification

  • 168 JVM tests, Android lint with 0 errors, and 67 runner tests passed.
  • Corrected, checksummed optimized APK passed 13/13 Android 17 Sky Watch checks and 3/3 alpha24→25 upgrade/data-preservation checks. Verification receipt and checksum are attached.
  • Portrait, landscape and 2×-text screenshots reviewed. The first candidate's cramped metadata labels were corrected before publication.
  • Full aircraft/owner plus airline lookup succeeded on the first candidate; the final candidate verified a missing aircraft record alongside a successful callsign-airline result. Missing metadata never blocks the map.
  • Signing identity, 17 protected bundled assets and native libraries unchanged; APK architecture, size and 16 KiB checks passed.

Source: PR #19, revision 24c458e. This is a pilot prerelease; the PR remains open for review. GitHub's independent source CI was still running at publication.

No physical-phone GPS accuracy or unrelated full camera/vision/measurement rerun is claimed.
