Before configuring the app for deployment, read through :ref:`development`; some concepts may apply.
See apk_signer/settings/sites/* for site-specific settings files.
The signer can run in two user modes (in Django settings):
APK_USER_MODE = 'END_USER' APK_USER_MODE = 'REVIEWER'
- REVIEWER mode
- The signer instance is intended for app reveiwers. In this mode APKs are self-signed with a short lived key store. Key stores are never re-used.
- END_USER mode
- The signer instance is intended for end-users on Firefox for Android. In this mode APKs are self-signed with a long-lived key store that is associated with the app's manifest URL. When an app is updated, the same key store is used to sign new APK versions.
