Announcing Android Reproducible Builds at IzzyOnDroid with rbtlog

IzzyOnDroid is the largest 3rd-party F-Droid-compatible repository of open source Android apps [...] It provides [...] additional security and transparency via multiple custom scans and checks.

rbtlog is a Reproducible Builds transparency log for Android APKs. [...] It allows anyone to easily run a rebuilder for any apps available from a git repository with release tags plus accompanying APKs built and signed by the developer.

We are pleased to announce "Reproducible Builds, special client support and more in our repo": a collaboration between various independent interoperable projects: the IzzyOnDroid team, 3rd-party clients Droid-ify & Neo Store, and rbtlog (part of my collection of tools for Android Reproducible Builds) to bring Reproducible Builds to IzzyOnDroid and the wider Android ecosystem.

🇬🇧 Finally we're live with a new set of features! More than 18% of the apps at IzzyOnDroid already have Reproducible Builds – that's more than 1 out of 6, and more will follow. Two wonderful clients will make this and more transparent for you soon. Read about all the exciting news in this article: android.izzysoft.de/articles/n…

All this was made possible thanks to the help of @obfusk – and her github.com/obfusk/rbtlog :awesome:

🇩🇪 Schluss mit der Rumeierei – jetzt ist es Live! mehr als 18% der Apps bei IzzyOnDroid verfügen bereits über Reproducible Builds (also mehr als jedes 6. Ei – oops, jede 6. App; mehr folgen). Zwei wundervolle Clients werden Euch dies und weiteres transparent machen. Das & weitere spannende News könnt ihr hier nachlesen: android.izzysoft.de/articles/n…

All dies war nur möglich Dank der Hilfe von @obfusk – und ihrem github.com/obfusk/rbtlog :awesome:

A bug in recent changes made to Google's apksigner breaks signature copying with apksigcopier, which is needed to make Reproducible Builds work for Android APKs.

Analysis with available workarounds:

👍 to #ReproducibleBuilds hacker kpcyrd for developing this!


So, Philipp Kern dropped by asking if we could do some #ReproducibleBuilds verifications of recent Debian Security updates, given, well the whole #xz mess... and that our build infrastructure may have run compromised code at some point...

So I did a quick pass at a handful of updates and everything verified ok so far, though I skipped some of the probably more juicy targets such as chromium and firefox:

Debian is reproducible enough to at least try this sort of thing!


I independently reproduced the #NixOS minimal installation ISO!

This is an amazing milestone for me personally: I've been involved in #ReproducibleBuilds since 2017 and #NixOS since 2019, and have been slowly chipping away at this problem. While there is much more to do to further reap the benefits of reproducibility, this is a long-awaited tangible benefit.

For more about the What, Why, How and What Next, check the post below :)

We've updated our monthly overview of F-Droid apps published with Reproducible Builds again: 21 new RB apps were added in June, making 145 RB apps in total.

#FDroid #ReproducibleBuilds


We recently updated the @fdroidorg Inclusion How-To with a new section explaining why we consider #ReproducibleBuilds to be best practice and are hoping developers will support our efforts to make as many (new) apps reproducible as we reasonably can (whilst hopefully making sure it's clear this is not a mandatory requirement):

f-droid.org/docs/Inclusion_How…


Not too long ago, your two hands would have been enough to count the #reproducibleBuilds at @fdroidorg – but now it doesn't even help taking your shoes off to call your toes in. It's 50 now, and counting! I just successfully got an author's and my own first RB in ("with a little help from my friends"), and have 2 more pending :awesome:

So yes: expect more and more apps this way now. Install from #FDroid – update from Github if needed; signature matches. Just the GUI needs to show that now…


Have you heard about #ReproducibleBuilds? This is one of the biggest #security benefits of #FOSS. On #Android, this technique ensures that the #FDroid version of an app exactly matches the developer's version.

Read our article below for more details and to see how easy it is for developers to get set up:
