DOWNLOAD_IOMATEX_APP/edge-client/android

Edge Client Android channel

This channel is for com.magicby.broadcaster.client, ARM64 Qt Edge Client. It is independent of the mobile IOMATEX latest.json at the repository root.

Public manifest: https://git.it-screen.com/An-J/DOWNLOAD_IOMATEX_APP/raw/branch/main/edge-client/android/latest.json

The client checks build_number against its installed Android versionCode; only a higher value is eligible. Required manifest fields: package_name, build_number, architecture (arm64-v8a), min_sdk, apk_url (HTTPS raw URL in this repository), sha256, size_bytes. enabled: false pauses new downloads. This cannot revoke an APK already handed to Android installation.

All published APKs here retain the existing Edge test-fleet certificate SHA256 071f8fc7b4324eb9584154810c203f9fad9b0d06409b5606e2f18eb8084fa103. This is NOT the mobile IOMATEX production key or the legacy itscreen_21.apk key. The client requires equality with its installed signing certificate.

Release procedure

1. Increase the Edge Client versionName/versionCode and run regression tests.
2. Build ARM64 APK and sign using the retained Edge key outside Git.
3. Run It-screenClient/scripts/prepare-android-git-release.py with the signed APK, this repository root and Android SDK build-tools paths.
4. Review APK/version/checksum and commit the new immutable release directory together with edge-client/android/latest.json. Never modify root latest.json.
5. After authorized push, fetch both raw URLs without credentials and verify size/SHA-256; test upgrade on a device with the matching package/signature.
6. Rollbacks require another build with a greater versionCode. Keep old releases.

Auto-update can install silently only with working root privileges. Otherwise Android presents its installer, which may require user confirmation and install permission. Failed automatic installation is not retried in a loop for the same version; the user can explicitly retry. Error details are retained in service preferences (update_error) and Android logs; root output is update-install.log.

The first migration from the old HTTP channel requires installing the new APK once. Old binaries do not discover this Git channel by themselves.
