Zapstore on nostr

@Primal Developers and @greenart7c3 I'd appreciate if you could re-publish your latest versions. This mistake won't happen again, I'm sorry!

Recovered events for @Amethyst @darrell @KoalaSat @BTC Map @ArcaneChat but if you could please double-check apps are effectively in their latest versions.

Thank y'all for understanding.

Zapstore relay is back up again!

Post-mortem:

A bug in the indexer background process replaced 8 self-published apps with indexed ones (signed by Zapstore indexer). Main symptom for users was seeing duplicates of these apps.

Backups were there but faulty so the recovery was difficult and partial. 5 were successfully recovered and 3 were not (Primal by @Primal Developers and Amber and Citrine by @greenart7c3 ).

Users please go to your profile screen > "Clear local storage" if you see double entries of some apps! We are working on a feature in the next release to repair these issues without you having to delete the cache.

Backups, as well as the original indexer bug, were fixed.

I'll explain:

- I'm switching off the relay to prevent bad data from spreading to clients which will cache it
- We are working on ways to bust these cache entries in the mobile app but that's not ready yet (next release though)
- If I leave the relay on, I will get an avalanche of support requests I can't handle by myself
- I'm also the only guy doing devops, which really is a full-time job in itself, and I have an appointment now so I'll take care of it when that's done. At least 2-3 more hours

tl;dr: making sure all apps are always up to date is hard.

We just had a data issue in our indexer, it's possible I have to turn the relay off for a few hours. Investigating. Apologize in advance.

I am interested, so I searched HN threads and could not find anything like you describe. Can you share some links?

What is the most secure Android in your opinion, then?

There are different levels of secure. At level 1 is the normal stock Android you buy on the stores. Securer option are no-brand cheap chinese phones. Awful quality for sure, but they don't afford to bother themselves in locking the device too much nor incorporating deviations from the original AOSP...

Here is an example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32118569 Read the criticism there and (bad) rebuttals from bots. The whole thing is stinking suspicious since years and obscures other projects with good practices that really need more support.

i want in app auto update. I said it would be compatible with zapstore

Zapstore @Zapstore 1773417982

Let me know if we can help you in any way.

FYI there is now the option of cryptographically linking your Nostr identity to your Android keystore/certificate (zsp identity --link-key). That is one single event you sign once, it can even be done offline and then publish. From that moment on we take care of pulling your new releases into the Zapstore relay.

Pro: you don't have to mess with crafting Zapstore-compatible events. Con: you don't have full control over the metadata, though in practice it works just fine as we can pull metadata from Google Play, F-Droid and others.

Absolutely! It has been on our agenda for a while, but we wanted to really polish up the Android release before applying. We are quite happy with the latest release v0.3.2 and look forward to listing Vector on Zapstore. We will be in touch this week. Thank you all 🙏
