Is there an Android version of GW2 Assistant?
There is, though you have to side-load it on your device. The short story is that long ago when I first built this app, I could not get Google to keep it published. They eventually sent the "we will delete your account if this keeps up" so I've essentially abandoned the play store. In the interim, there's been another (ad supported) app with the same name and way more GW2 proprietary content uploaded to there which has nothing to do with me. Yeah, Google's not very good at this app store business.
That said, you can download the APK for GW2 Assistant from here: https://alextheward.com/static/files/gw2-assistant-v3-3.3.1.apk
Open the file from your downloads folder, and Android will prompt you (several times) to allow unverified apps.
If you're using a regular Android device, Play Protect will scan it and then allow you to install it after deeming it safe. If you are not, or if you would like to verify the signature you can do so with the Android SDK's apksigner using the following command:
apksigner verify --print-certs --verbose gw2-assistant-v3-3.3.1.apk
This is the signature you should see at the top of the output:
Signer #1 certificate DN: C=US, ST=Oregon, L=Portland, O=Cthonic Studios LLC, CN=Alex Ward
Signer #1 certificate SHA-256 digest: 82e9adaf71cf2c8a684efe7d18044f17fd59a234dee3ea70c0a9e0eb26a47be6
Signer #1 certificate SHA-1 digest: a21f32e62b2e00195f1201ea3ef410be9f0e23fa
Signer #1 certificate MD5 digest: f2e92f5ca43eba280f1cb0e74d5accaf
There will be a bunch of warnings about the META-INF folder, but those don't particularly matter and I'm working on cleaning that directory up.
And that's it. If you have any issues, please contact support either through this contact form or via support@cthonicstudios.com
