We have reached out to Keep Android Open to co-sign the letter: https://keepandroidopen.org/open-letter/
After a week, received no response. I read somewhere that they require a Wikipedia page (?) to get listed.
But we will add some form of banner to our app and website.
(1) Anyone here with a Wikipedia account to create a Zapstore entry?
(2) Anyone here with a contact at Keep Android Open?
I was happy to see a good soul added Zapstore on here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Android_app_stores

Great question!

2026-03-12 14:19:19 UTC

If Google does not change its stance before September, assume some apps won't work on Google-controlled devices.
For those using Zapstore on the Guulag, we will attempt to identify apps such that users can know/filter beforehand. At the same time, we will take the opportunity for a marketing campaign emphasizing:
"Google owns your device and is limiting your options. If you want to fully unlock all apps, use @npub1235…0ht5 or other alternative ROM."
Hoping to leverage this insanity against their control.

Yes, of course, it will come. We're doing what we can

After these important infrastructure improvements, our next big challenge is communities (next 4-6 weeks).
Anyone is able to run one, and discoverability will be first-class in the app and webapp. Instead of managing relays, Blossom servers, and tweaking a bunch of technical knobs, no: those are prepackaged in a community spec.
We are going to push the permissionlessness hard.
Stay tuned, it's going to be awesome.

Lol I was half joking. I don't think it's targeted to Zapstore necessarily, but they should do better

2026-03-10 22:00:55 UTC

Re: app updates.
On the indexer side, we deployed a demand-driven schedule meaning that your requested updates trigger a check - instead of being cadence driven (e.g. every day).
This means more efficient and faster updates across the board!
The indexer also now does takeovers, so if a developer stops publishing for whatever reason, the indexer acts as a safety net so you don't miss updates!
If the developer had cryptographically linked their APK certificate, then we can keep publishing on their behalf.

As I told you previously I had to remove your cryptographic links (event kind 30509) you published to Zapstore, probably via `zsp identity --link-key`, due to change of spec. It now carries the certificate hash (not the public key hash) so we can actually do comparisons against releases.
I'd appreciate if you updated and ran it again!

2026-03-10 21:49:13 UTC

Attention developers. We're relentlessly lowering the bar for publishing.
If your npub is rejected (usually happens with new npubs) you no longer need to ask for whitelisting.
Simply add a 'pubkey' YAML property in your zapstore.yaml config file (must be at root of your repository, pushed) with your npub.
That's it!
(Malicious apps will swiftly get removed and the entire user from the forge, permanently blacklisted.)

✨ New feature (in alpha!)
Something that many asked for a long time.
You can now suggest apps to the Zapstore indexer. Simply search for the full repository URL like https://github.com/user/repo
If you get no results back, it will be queued for indexing in the background, and if it has valid APK in its releases, it should shortly be available.
Github only for now. Try it out!

Yes, and we would like to make them obsolete

🚀 zsp publishing tool, just released 0.4.0
Lots of fixes and a publishing flow to link your APK certificates to your Nostr identity, implementing our new NIP-C1!
I encourage you to start signing these, it will strongly help improve trust signals.
It also works outside the flow, via: zsp identity --link-key

2026-03-10 21:14:20 UTC

Aurora Store release repository (auroraoss.com) has blocked Zapstore indexer IP, so no updates from them.
Github being more open than a FOSS project, who would've guessed.

1. Publishing on Zapstore does not imply not publishing on other stores.
2. Some of your users want to see it here so they can easily update.

Sorry, I don't know. It's impossible to have a certificate mismatch if app is not installed?
Sometimes the app remains in private profiles, needs to be removed completely.

PSA: Update to the latest Zapstore, and tell your friends to do so!
Soon, Zapstore 0.2.7 or earlier will stop receiving some app updates.
We have initiated our progressive migration process to the new NIP which is only supported by Zapstore 1.0.0 or later. It will likely take a few months until all developers are moved over.

@nprofile…q9g5 and @nprofile…lph3 I noticed you pushed proofs already, very cool. When the new zsp is out i'm gonna ask you to re-publish 🙏

2026-02-26 14:30:30 UTC

Updated the Cryptographic Identity Proofs NIP, now uses APK certificate hashes instead of SPKIFPs.
I'm working on zsp to reflect this, and possibly require it as proof that developer npubs actually "own" APKs (it's a one-time process at setup) to further prevent impersonation.
This also opens the door for self-publishing by signing just one event, once.

They are fixing that error right now, I just happen to know. But otherwise that behavior is correct, the check is there to protect you.
