User: hi chatgpt how are you.

hi chatgpt how are you. Can i see bitwarden app hash signature which is in google play? I will compare open source and google play hash signature

Assistant: I’m doing well, thanks.

I’m doing well, thanks. You can’t directly see a “hash signature” from the Google Play Store itself, but you can extract it from the APK. Here’s how:

1. Download the APK from Google Play - You can use tools like Aurora Store (open source) or websites that let you fetch APKs. - Google Play doesn’t give the APK file directly, so you need an extractor or an official device download.
2. Get the signature hash from the APK Once you have the APK, you can check its signing certificate. On a system with Java installed: ``bash # Check APK signature keytool -printcert -jarfile Bitwarden.apk ` This will give you output like: ` Owner: CN=..., OU=..., O=... SHA-1: XX:XX:XX:... SHA-256: XX:XX:XX:... ` The SHA-256 (or SHA-1) is what you’d compare with the one generated from the Bitwarden open-source build.
3. Generate the hash from source code build If you build Bitwarden from source yourself: `bash ./gradlew assembleRelease # The APK will be in app/build/outputs/apk/release/ keytool -printcert -jarfile app-release.apk `` Compare the SHA-256 from this APK to the Google Play APK.

⚠️ Note: If the hashes don’t match, it could mean:

• Google Play uses their own signing key (Play App Signing). This is normal.
• The source you built might not match the exact Play release (like version or minor signing differences).

If you want, I can give you a step-by-step guide to compare the open-source build hash to the Play Store version safely. Do you want me to do that?

User: So cant I see bitwarden apps in google play hash signature?

So cant I see bitwarden apps in google play hash signature?

Assistant: Not directly.

Not directly. Google Play doesn’t expose the APK’s signing hash to users. The only way to see it is to get the actual APK (from a device or via a downloader) and inspect it locally.

Important points:

• Google Play Signing: Many apps, including Bitwarden, use Google Play App Signing. This means the APK you download from Play is re-signed by Google, not with the developer’s local key. So even if you build Bitwarden from source, the hash will never match the Play version unless you enroll in Play signing yourself.
• Viewing signatures: You need the APK in your hands, then you can run:

keytool -printcert -jarfile Bitwarden.apk

• Direct hash online: Google Play doesn’t publish SHA-1 or SHA-256 for app signatures anywhere in the store.

If your goal is to verify that the Play version matches open-source Bitwarden, you’d either:

1. Trust the Play Store build (most users do).
2. Build it yourself and sideload it (then you control the signature).

I can also explain a method to compare source build vs Play version safely, even with Google Play Signing. Do you want me to?
