It would be handy if you could TOFU pin an app signing key in Android without installing it.

Might be a cool feature for @GrapheneOS?

@Hyolobrika @GrapheneOS android already does this when you install an app for the first time. it doesn't make any difference if you're doing it without installing the app. that's why you're supposed to obtain apps from a trusted source.a better idea would be GrapheneOS shipping a database of pinned signing keys that can be updated out of band through our Apps app, such as our GmsCompatConfig text file. this is currently an open feature request at https://github.com/GrapheneOS/os-issue-tracker/issues/989

@r3g_5z @GrapheneOS It would be handy if you don't want to install an app right then (say, you don't have enough space, or you're not sure about it yet) but you still want to verify it's the same app as before.Maybe a more general ability to view signing keys would be good.>GrapheneOS shipping a database of pinned signing keysI agree that would be handy, since you're always trusting your OS makers no matter what, so you might as well use that.

@r3g_5z @GrapheneOS You could copy the signing key and put it in a text document if you wanted to do that.
