SAM v3.5.0 — The Cut

Two weeks of work that had shipped to main but never reached an installed app until now.

New this release

  • Android is real. A native Android build now exists alongside iOS — signed keystore, a real signed AAB, cleartext-traffic fix. Same app, same features, one shared codebase with iOS.
  • SAM can fix itself again. The self-repair bots (label an issue, SAM attempts its own fix on a free model) had been silently dead for about a month on an expired credential — they degrade and tell you what broke instead of dying silently now, and both are verified working end to end.

Faster

  • The build/automation system runs jobs at the same time now instead of one at a time. A job for an untouched project no longer waits behind everything else in the queue.
  • Live previews of your own builds no longer show a blank page — this was breaking for any project with a real build step (the exact kind of project the system itself recommends building).

More reliable

  • Fixed a case where jobs sent through the real background daemon could silently never start.
  • Continuous integration had been red on the main branch for three pushes without anyone noticing — a lint issue and a Windows-only test bug. Both fixed, and the daily health check itself was quietly skipping half its checks on the mobile app — fixed too.
  • A security-relevant networking library was bumped to patch a real, disclosed vulnerability, and the code that guards against server-side request forgery was hardened against the change.
  • An image-fetching path inside the Studio feature now goes through the same request-forgery guard everything else does.

Mobile

  • Native tactile feedback (haptics) across iOS and Android.
  • The standalone AI mode (works without pairing to a desktop) now has over 30 fallback providers instead of a handful, with an honest failure message instead of a made-up answer when everything's exhausted.
  • iOS build submitted for review with a fix for a narrowed network-security setting that was breaking the app for Tailscale/VPN users.
  • One-tap code copy, haptic feedback, and a status pill showing exactly what's connected.

Health & hygiene

  • All 9 previously open dependency-security alerts closed — 6 upgraded, 3 dismissed with a written reason (build-tool-only dependencies that never ship in the actual app).
  • Two flaky tests that intermittently failed in CI (real DNS lookups against invalid hostnames) now run instantly and deterministically.

🔒 Verify your download (SHA-256)

The one-paste installers verify this automatically. To check by hand, compute the hash and match:

  • macOS/Linux: shasum -a 256 <file>
  • Windows (PowerShell): Get-FileHash <file> -Algorithm SHA256
