Hermes Android 3.2.7

Stable release, base build 3035 (ABI splits 30351 / 30352 / 30353).
Every split upgrades the highest previously distributed split, 3.2.6's 30343,
so it installs in place over 3.2.6. The production package
com.hermesagent.hermes_android and signing certificate are unchanged; install
over the existing app rather than uninstalling.

This release covers everything since 3.2.6.

In-app APK download and installation (#270)

When a newer official GitHub release is available, supported Android builds can
now download, verify and hand the matching APK directly to the system package
installer from the update dialog.

  • ABI-matched asset selection: the update checker inspects the device's
    supported ABIs alongside the release's SHA256SUMS manifest and selects the
    matching split APK (arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a or x86_64) with its expected
    size and SHA-256 digest.
  • Pinned download and archive verification: downloads accept only HTTPS
    URLs under github.com/rusty4444/hermes-android/releases/download/ and the
    trusted GitHub release asset hosts, stream to a single-file cache with byte
    count and SHA-256 verification, and validate the downloaded APK against the
    installed app's package name, signing certificate digests, supported ABIs,
    minSdkVersion, and a strictly higher versionCode before installation.
  • Unknown-sources permission handoff: if Android requires permission to
    install unknown apps, the dialog opens the package-specific system settings
    page, retains the verified download across the round-trip, and re-verifies the
    staged APK on the worker executor before launching the system installer.
  • Safe fallback: when a release has no verified in-app asset or runs on a
    debug/non-Android build, the dialog keeps the external View release link.

Thanks

  • @esc247 contributed the in-app APK updater,
    native archive/signature verification, and regression test suite (#270).

Verification

  • flutter analyze --no-pub --fatal-infos: no issues.
  • flutter test --no-pub: the full suite passed on the release commit, with no
    failures or skipped tests.
  • The tag workflow builds, verifies and publishes the signed APKs, checksums and
    source/relink bundle.

Built with AI assistance (Hermes Agent) and reviewed before release.
