Re: [android-developers] APK Signature Certificate Check

I'm a bit fuzzy on the implementation details, but I think I can figure this out.

Thanks!

You could embed the hash as a resource with a non-obvious name,
and tripple-base64 encode it for extra fun if you don't want to use a
server. If they are changing/modifying your resources, it might be
better to store bits of it in code and calculate it dynamically
though.
