Many thanks to Ali (@4H1R) for implementing the store!

APK signing certificate hashes

The package names and SHA-256 hashes of the signature certificate are listed below, so you can verify both FlorisBoard variants with apksigner by using apksigner verify --print-certs florisboard-<version>-<track>.apk when you download the APK. If you have AppVerifier installed, you can alternatively copy both the package name and the hash of the corresponding track and share them to AppVerifier.
