Feature description

On Android, you can use AppVerifier to confirm if an apk was signed by the owners or an untrusted key (as well as other methods). This can be combined with Obtanium to check at install time.

The hashes could be published in a number of places for additional trust. e.g

  • blog post
  • gpg signed download
  • mastodon / twitter /...
  • Github

Why do you want this feature?

Allows for an additional layer of certainty being able to easily check that the apk is legitimately signed

FWIW these are currently published in the homepage, under the "Get NewPipe" section: https://newpipe.net. Got my green AppVerifier checkmark :)
