RE: SteemPort Android Apps: Steemit Pond, Steem Supply, Steem Stream
Great work, thank you !
When will the apps be available at Google Play ?
I'll advice against enabling "Developer mode" or Installation of Apps from "Unknown Sources".
Its bad practice from security standpoint.
Don't use the provided links / QR codes.
Get the apps from GitHub and compile them on your own.
Thanks again, I'll clone the repo and try them out.
UPDATE: I don't see the source code, only the apks in the repo, I guess I'll wait for you to put the source on GitHub or at least be approved by Google.
Hi Zinovi,
Thanks for you intrest in the apps and for letting me know your concerns
The SteemPort Apps are not available in the Play Store because it wil take extra time and the need of setting up a Google account etc . (if more people would download the apps i would consider adding them to the store.)
Developer mode / unknown sources is always needed to be able to install Apps that are not (yet) available in the Google Play Store.
The Apps don't require any special permissions, the apps Don't have acces to your camera, memory, or phonebook etc. which lower the security risks.
The QR codes are Static codes and will always lead you to the SteemPort Github downloads. (Scanning or pressing the download button will always leads to the same file. People can verify this by checking the github URL when scanning the QR code.)
The Apps dont ask you to login (which lowers security risks)
The Apps would pass the Android Store checks
At this moment i am not sharing the project files, If you have doubt you could scan the apks with a (online) scanner. i just scanned SteemitPond.APK and
"No Malicious activity detected".
