Shadowrocket Android APK safety checklist before installing
A practical checklist for verifying Shadowrocket Android APK filename, version, source, file size, and SHA256 checksum.
Key points
Treat APK installation as a verification workflow. The filename, version, release source, file size, and SHA256 should all match before you install or share the file.
Start with the release page
Use the download page as the source of truth. It lists current version 10.10.5, CPU architecture variants, file sizes, SHA256 values, and the public GitHub release link.
Match the filename
The filename should include the same version and architecture you intended to download. A renamed APK is not automatically unsafe, but it removes one useful verification signal.
Verify SHA256
Calculate SHA256 locally and compare it with the value published on the download page. If the values differ, stop and download again from a trusted source.
FAQ
No. File size is useful, but SHA256 is the stronger check.
Do not install the APK. Delete it and download again from the published source.
