A full list of changes from the previous release (version 63) is available through the Git commit log between the releases.
This app is available through the Play Store with the app.grapheneos.camera.play app id. Play Store releases go through review and it usually takes around 1 to 3 days before the Play Store pushes out the update to users. Play Store releases use Play Signing, so we use a separate app id from the releases we publish ourselves to avoid conflicts and to distinguish between them.
Releases of the app signed by GrapheneOS with the app.grapheneos.camera app id are published in the GrapheneOS app repository and on GitHub. You can use the GrapheneOS app repository client on Android 12 or later for automatic updates.
Releases are initially pushed out through the Beta channel for both the Play Store and our app repository and then get moved to the Stable channel.
GrapheneOS users must obtain GrapheneOS app updates through our app repository since fs-verity metadata is now required for out-of-band system app updates on GrapheneOS as part of extending verified boot to them.
