subtracks ships through four channels:
- **GitHub releases** — the APK and the AAB are signed with the release key. The public certificate is committed here as [`release-certificate.pem`](release-certificate.pem) and attached to each release, along with a `SHA256SUMS`.
- **Google Play** — uses Play App Signing, so Google re-signs the app it delivers. The release key is only the *upload* key there: it signs the AAB we send to Play, not the APK users install. The installed app verifies against Google's app signing certificate (Play Console → App integrity), and the upload key only proves the AAB we uploaded.

- **F-Droid** — re-signed by F-Droid with its own key; see [F-Droid's signing keys](https://f-droid.org/docs/Release_Channels_and_Signing_Keys/).
- **`nightly` builds** (the `subtracks-nightly` artifact from CI) — signed with the public debug key committed at [`app/debug.keystore`](../app/debug.keystore), whose certificate is [`nightly-certificate.pem`](nightly-certificate.pem).
