TASK-066: download page and in-app update check
Status: done; superseded by TASK-070 (the page and its publishing script are no longer used) Owner: Claude Reviewer: human product owner
Request
The human product owner asked for a web link to download the app, protected by a download
password they chose, and for the app to offer the newest version when it is not on it. They chose
to host it in a folder of the existing choimy0204.github.io site.
Acceptance criteria
https://choimy0204.github.io/ubgitea/serves a page that asks for the password and only then gives the APK. The APK on the host is encrypted (AES-256-GCM, key from PBKDF2-SHA256), so its address alone gives nothing. The password is not in this repository.version.jsonbeside it names the newest versionCode, versionName and notes.- The app reads it once at launch; when it is newer than the installed build, a dialog offers the download page. Settings shows the installed version, a check button, and the download page when something newer is out. No Gitea token is sent to that host.
tools/publish-download.pybuilds the page from an APK; versionCode is raised for every build published.

Evidence
- 2026-10-07: the required checks pass; 468 unit tests, 0 failures; lint 0 errors.
- The page's decryption was run with Node's WebCrypto (the browser's API): the right password
gives a file byte-identical to
app-debug.apk, a wrong one is refused. - Published version 0.2.0 (versionCode 2), the debug build, to
choimy0204.github.io/ubgitea/. - Not seen: the page opened on a phone, the install over an existing copy, the in-app dialog.
Review findings
- 2026-10-07, product owner: a wrong password still downloaded. In a desktop browser a wrong password got nothing, but the page fetched the encrypted APK before checking the password, and a phone browser can keep that fetch as a download (still encrypted, not installable). The page now opens a small sealed check with the password first and fetches nothing when it is wrong; tried in the browser: a wrong password made no request, the right one downloaded.
