I tried running sheltered from the f-droid repository with it not really working that well; refusing to show notifications during setup. I’m not sure of this is because it hasn’t been updated in the last 12 months, or if its something on my end.

Any help is appreciated.

            When you use Play App Signing, your keys are stored on the same secure infrastructure that Google uses to store its own keys. Keys are protected by Google’s Key Management Service. If you want to learn more about

            For apps created before August 2021, you can still upload an APK and manage your own keys instead of using Play App Signing and publishing with an Android App Bundle

    When you installed it, could you have been in “do not disturb” mode? The author indicated that DND will prevent the necessary notification.

      Android has built-in support for a so-called “work profile”, so folks can use their personally owned smartphone for work tasks with reasonable isolation. It has a separate file system, separate apps list, separate contacts etc…

      Normally, this work profile will be activated and managed by your employer. Shelter (and similar apps, e.g. Insular) allows you to activate the work profile yourself and do basic management, like copying apps and files into there.

      From a privacy viewpoint, it’s great, if you’re e.g. forced to use WhatsApp, but don’t want it scraping your contacts.

        I didn’t even know about the android function at all. That sounds useful.
