base on Session Android - A Decentralized, Onion Routed, Private Messenger # Session Android [Download on the Google Play Store](https://getsession.org/android) Add the [F-Droid repo](https://fdroid.getsession.org/) [Download the APK from here](https://github.com/session-foundation/session-android/releases/latest) ## Summary Session integrates directly with [Oxen Service Nodes](https://docs.oxen.io/about-the-oxen-blockchain/oxen-service-nodes), which are a set of distributed, decentralized and Sybil resistant nodes. Service Nodes act as servers which store messages offline, and a set of nodes which allow for onion routing functionality obfuscating users' IP addresses. For a full understanding of how Session works, read the [Session Whitepaper](https://getsession.org/whitepaper). <img src="https://i.imgur.com/wcdAGBh.png" width="320" /> ## Want to contribute?

Jason Rhinelander, a member of the [Session Technology Foundation](https://session.foundation/) and is the current signer for all Session Android releases. His GPG key can be found on his GitHub and other sources. ``` wget https://github.com/jagerman.gpg gpg --import jagerman.gpg ``` **Step 2:** Get the signed hashes for this release. `SESSION_VERSION` needs to be updated for the release you want to verify. ``` export SESSION_VERSION=1.20.8 wget https://github.com/session-foundation/session-android/releases/download/$SESSION_VERSION/signature.asc ``` **Step 3:** Verify the signature of the hashes of the files. ``` gpg --verify signature.asc 2>&1 |grep "Good signature from" ``` The command above should print "`Good signature from "Jason Rhinelander...`". If it does, the hashes are valid but we still have to make the sure the signed hashes match the downloaded files. **Step 4:** Make sure the two commands below return the same hash for the file you are checking. If they do, file is valid. ``` sha256sum session-$SESSION_VERSION-universal.apk grep universal.apk signature.asc ``` ## Testing ### BrowserStack This project is tested with BrowserStack. ## License Copyright 2011 Whisper Systems Copyright 2013-2017 Open Whisper Systems Copyright 2019-2024 The Oxen Project Copyright 2024-2025 Session Technology Foundation Licensed under the GPLv3: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html ## Attributions This project uses [Lucide Icon Font](https://lucide.dev/), which is licensed under the [ISC License](third_party_licenses/LucideLicense.txt). ## Socials <a href="https://twitter.com/session_app"> <img align="left" width="26px" src="https://www.vectorlogo.zone/logos/twitter/twitter-official.svg" /> </a> <a href="mailto:[email protected]"> <img align="left" width="26px" src="https://www.vectorlogo.zone/logos/gmail/gmail-icon.svg" /> </a> ", Assign "at most 3 tags" to the expected json: {"id":"13698","tags":[]} "only from the tags list I provide: [{"id":77,"name":"3d"},{"id":89,"name":"agent"},{"id":17,"name":"ai"},{"id":54,"name":"algorithm"},{"id":24,"name":"api"},{"id":44,"name":"authentication"},{"id":3,"name":"aws"},{"id":27,"name":"backend"},{"id":60,"name":"benchmark"},{"id":72,"name":"best-practices"},{"id":39,"name":"bitcoin"},{"id":37,"name":"blockchain"},{"id":1,"name":"blog"},{"id":45,"name":"bundler"},{"id":58,"name":"cache"},{"id":21,"name":"chat"},{"id":49,"name":"cicd"},{"id":4,"name":"cli"},{"id":64,"name":"cloud-native"},{"id":48,"name":"cms"},{"id":61,"name":"compiler"},{"id":68,"name":"containerization"},{"id":92,"name":"crm"},{"id":34,"name":"data"},{"id":47,"name":"database"},{"id":8,"name":"declarative-gui "},{"id":9,"name":"deploy-tool"},{"id":53,"name":"desktop-app"},{"id":6,"name":"dev-exp-lib"},{"id":59,"name":"dev-tool"},{"id":13,"name":"ecommerce"},{"id":26,"name":"editor"},{"id":66,"name":"emulator"},{"id":62,"name":"filesystem"},{"id":80,"name":"finance"},{"id":15,"name":"firmware"},{"id":73,"name":"for-fun"},{"id":2,"name":"framework"},{"id":11,"name":"frontend"},{"id":22,"name":"game"},{"id":81,"name":"game-engine "},{"id":23,"name":"graphql"},{"id":84,"name":"gui"},{"id":91,"name":"http"},{"id":5,"name":"http-client"},{"id":51,"name":"iac"},{"id":30,"name":"ide"},{"id":78,"name":"iot"},{"id":40,"name":"json"},{"id":83,"name":"julian"},{"id":38,"name":"k8s"},{"id":31,"name":"language"},{"id":10,"name":"learning-resource"},{"id":33,"name":"lib"},{"id":41,"name":"linter"},{"id":28,"name":"lms"},{"id":16,"name":"logging"},{"id":76,"name":"low-code"},{"id":90,"name":"message-queue"},{"id":42,"name":"mobile-app"},{"id":18,"name":"monitoring"},{"id":36,"name":"networking"},{"id":7,"name":"node-version"},{"id":55,"name":"nosql"},{"id":57,"name":"observability"},{"id":46,"name":"orm"},{"id":52,"name":"os"},{"id":14,"name":"parser"},{"id":74,"name":"react"},{"id":82,"name":"real-time"},{"id":56,"name":"robot"},{"id":65,"name":"runtime"},{"id":32,"name":"sdk"},{"id":71,"name":"search"},{"id":63,"name":"secrets"},{"id":25,"name":"security"},{"id":85,"name":"server"},{"id":86,"name":"serverless"},{"id":70,"name":"storage"},{"id":75,"name":"system-design"},{"id":79,"name":"terminal"},{"id":29,"name":"testing"},{"id":12,"name":"ui"},{"id":50,"name":"ux"},{"id":88,"name":"video"},{"id":20,"name":"web-app"},{"id":35,"name":"web-server"},{"id":43,"name":"webassembly"},{"id":69,"name":"workflow"},{"id":87,"name":"yaml"}]" returns me the "expected json"
