@[email protected] I wondered what that was.

@[email protected] It's simply this text file inside of a signed APK marked as hasCode="false" as a secure way to distribute updates for it with signing:

Vanadium Config is a similar system for distributing Vanadium content filters and feature flags inside of a signed hasCode="false" APK.
