Install TELRPC on your phone.
Pick your phone below for the exact taps. It takes about two minutes, and you switch the one permission it needs back off at the end.
What to expect.
Android will warn you once. That is normal for any app installed from outside the Play Store, and it is exactly the moment to check you have the genuine TELRPC.
Android warns you. That's normal.
Phones only trust their own app store by default, so a file installed by hand always gets a warning first: your phone is not allowed to install unknown apps from this source. Play Protect may add a second one because the app is new to it. Neither means anything is wrong with the file.
Why a signed APK is safe to install
TELRPC is sealed with our signing key. Android checks that seal on install, and every future update must carry the same one or a handover signed by it, so nobody can quietly swap the app on your phone. The direct APK is the way in on Android. iOS coming soon.
Check it's the genuine TELRPC
Before installing, compare the file's fingerprint on your computer. After installing, open Settings → Verify this build and tap Scan the authenticity code with the code on the wallet page in front of you, or compare the signer by eye:
Signing certificate, SHA-256A0:FA:86:17:35:83:4C:0C:D2:18:BC:EF:5D:C7:50:B2:2A:BC:26:DE:46:FB:16:9D:DD:9B:21:7D:04:0B:4F:2D
Choose your phone.
The APK is already in the phone's Download folder, carried across by USB cable as in step 3 of the setup. The phone stays offline throughout.
