What's New in Version 1.5.0
The latest update, released on July 9, 2023, brings exciting enhancements to the Key Attestation app. You can now save the attestation results directly to a file, making it easier to review or share these results on another device. Additionally, we've streamlined the interface by hiding less critical items by default. However, you have the flexibility to toggle these options back on through the menu, ensuring you don't miss out on any details you might need.
Whether you're a developer looking to secure your apps or a power user interested in the intricacies of Android security, the Key Attestation feature and its latest updates offer valuable tools to enhance your security practices.
