Release Version: v1.0.22
Version Code: 23
Release Date: October 29, 2026

Highlights & Key Improvements

🚀 Resilient APK Downloader & "Failed to get file info" Fix

• Eliminated Fatal Pre-flight Abort: Fixed an issue where clicking the "Install" button would immediately fail with "Failed to get file info". Pre-flight HEAD and Range probes are now treated as non-blocking optimizations. If a server, CDN, or proxy rejects or times out on HEAD requests, the downloader automatically falls back to standard single-part GET streaming.
• Added Required Network Headers: Added an OkHttp interceptor injecting User-Agent: GitHubAppStore-Android and Accept: */* across all requests, preventing HTTP 403 Forbidden responses from GitHub release endpoints and anti-bot filters.
• Mirror Proxy Resilience: If a selected mirror proxy is down, unreachable, or times out, the download automatically falls back to the direct GitHub release URL.
• Multi-Part to Single-Part Fallback: If multi-threaded chunk downloading encounters mid-stream connection issues, it automatically falls back to single-part streaming to guarantee successful download.
• System DownloadManager Safety Net: Added automatic fallback to Android's system DownloadManager in AppInstaller if parallel downloading fails.

📦 Scoped Storage & Modern Android Compatibility (Android 10 - 16)

• App-Specific Download Storage: Saved APKs are now stored in context.getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS) (with fallback to app cache directory). This eliminates EACCES (Permission denied) errors on Android 10+ without requiring broad storage permissions.
• Clean FileProvider Integration: Seamless URI generation via FileProvider ensures the system Package Installer can always read and install the downloaded APKs.

🎨 Material 3 UI & Dialog Refinements

• Theme Selection Cards: Dynamic Material 3 container colors, selection outlines, and responsive iconography across Dark, Light, System, and "For You" theme options.
• Searchable Language Dialog: Clean surface and divider contrast with themed search field icons for faster language switching.

⚖️ Open Source Licensing & Hygiene

• Comprehensive License Directory: Added accurate open-source license metadata (MIT, Apache 2.0, BSD-3-Clause, EPL) for all bundled dependencies.
• Automated Verification: Added unit test suite MultiPartDownloaderTest verifying download probe handling, headers, and fallback streaming.
