Please remember increasing versionCode whenever you prepare a release. Version 1.2 identifies with the same (2) as v1.1, so existing users won't receive update notifications :wink:

After the pop-up told me to install CA certificate in "Settings", there's no CA cert generated in "HideDroid" folder, and there seem no related stuff in logcat either.

edit: I'm on LineageOS 18.1 (Pixel 4a 5G)

Hi there, I've discovered your application and project from IzzySoft repo. Really great path of approach to improve user privacy. Using a CalyxOS rom which is Android 11 based at the moment, I've did noticed the described issue in the project README.md. The security/privacy restriction of allowing applications to automatically install CA certificates. However, as a non-developer android enthusiast (Meaning that i actually don't know what I'm talking about technically speaking), I've been wondering.

• Could the application potentially request to be given adb developers or root rights as a workaround ? This does indeed make the process of setting it up more complex and potentially dangerous on a security stand-point, but such as installing a CA certificate to re-route application network traffic (Even if your code is entirely open).
• I believe the reason you haven't thought of suggesting to add the CA certificate manually, is because it is actually generated on activation by the application, and so, is unique to your device. In the case that the application detect a problematic Android version, couldn't be saved in the accessible HideDroid folder in the user filespace folder ? That way, the user could install the generated CA certificate manually, the way like ad-blocking software like Blokada, offers for a much full-proof and rootless network advertisement filtering.

This seems like a very interesting app for the privacy concerned, thanks a lot for making it public! I just noticed versioning is broken, see here: while the tag suggests a version 0.2, being the second release, your build.gradle makes it 1.0, the first release. Could you please take care adjusting that with each release? versionName should correspond to what your tag name suggests, and versionCode always being increased (doesn't matter how much as long as it's an integer larger than with the previous release).

Another idea, with the app size probably growing, maybe you want to provide separate APKs for the separate architectures? Android devices with MIPS are quite rare, so not sure if those two are worth the effort, but at least having ARM and x86 separated would be great, if it's not too much work.

Hello, I have installed the app (v1.2), then installed the certificate. I then opened the app, tapped on the + button, selected an app and tried to apply modifications. A white dialog box appeared, with no text, and only two coloured buttons, Yes and No. Screenshot attached. Logcat displays: D it.unige.hidedroid.realmdatahelper.UtilitiesStoreDataOnRealmDb: getPrivacySettingAppFromPackageName D it.unige.hidedroid.activity.SaveSettingApkActivity: Beginning app installing
