Heimdall v1.0.0 – Initial Public Release 🛡️

💡 Installation & Troubleshooting (Android 13/14)

Heimdall is distributed directly on GitHub for now as we don't have a Google Play Console developer license yet. Because you are sideloading outside the Play Store, Android will show standard security checks on first setup:

1. Allow Unknown Apps (Chrome / Files):
   • Settings Path: Phone Settings → Search for "Install unknown apps" → Select Chrome or Files → Toggle on Allow from this source.
   • (Or from the install prompt: Tap Settings on the popup → Turn on Allow from this source → Press Back → Tap Install).
2. Google Play Protect:
   • Tap More details → Tap Install anyway (Heimdall is 100% offline with zero internet permissions).
   • To pause scanning: Open Play Store → Tap Profile icon (top right) → Tap Play Protect → Tap ⚙️ Settings (top right) → Turn off Scan apps with Play Protect.
3. Restricted Permissions (if SMS toggle is greyed out):
   • Open phone Settings → Apps → Heimdall → Tap ⋮ (top right) → Tap Allow restricted settings → Verify with fingerprint/PIN.
4. Set as Default SMS App:
   • When Heimdall launches, it automatically prompts: "Set Heimdall as your default SMS app?" → Select Heimdall → Tap Set as default. This grants SMS access and loads your existing inbox.
