What is it?

  • Simple Security Addition

Description of the changes in your PR

For your consideration, I'm submitting a small edit to the README to add the hash of the signing key currently posted on the NewPipe website and bring it to the user's attention in installation method #2.

For android users looking to download the APK and install directly from Github, or using a different method like Obtainium, the responsibility of verifying the signing key of the downloaded APK is placed on the user. This is easily done with AppVerifier. A signing certificate posted on both the website and in the README would improve user confidence in the download.

Thank you for your consideration.

This will have to be kept track of and updated on every new release. Is there no way to automate this?
