Signed Android APK for sideload

Resolves install failures when only unsigned APKs were published.

Download

  • Pale.apk (stable name) — install this file
  • Pale_0.1.6_android-signed.apk — same binary, versioned name
  • SHA256SUMS.txt — checksums

Why this exists

The CI/website builds were shipping unsigned release APKs. Modern Android (including Android 16 on Honor) refuses to install them. These artifacts are signed with the public Pale sideload certificate (v2/v3).

Install

  1. Uninstall any older Pale build that used a different signing cert.
  2. Enable Install unknown apps for your browser/Files.
  3. Open Pale.apk and install.
  4. Optional: adb install -r Pale.apk

Not for Play Store

This uses the public sideload keystore in packaging/android/. Production Play/MDM builds need a private keystore via CI secrets.

See ANDROID_SETUP.md and packaging/android/README.md.
