Betinia APK install: when and how the desk side-loads on Android

The desk re-issues the APK side-load surface on three cadences. The first cadence is per quarter: the desk reads the operator's APK portal against the five-row verification task and re-issues the verdict chip on the operator's APK portal. The second cadence is per half: the desk reads the operator's APK portal against the most recent operator calendar and re-issues the verdict chip on the operator's APK portal.

The third cadence is per incident: where a reader reports an APK side-load event that crosses the desk's incident threshold, the desk verifies the event against the operator's published record and re-issues the verdict chip only when the operator's record changes. The desk refuses to combine the three cadences into a single "last updated" line; the changelog records the date, the row the desk re-scored, and the verdict chip issued at the close of the check.

For the per-row verification, the desk asks the reader to confirm the operator's APK portal against the five-row verification task and to refuse any APK where the digital signature does not match the operator's published fingerprint. The desk's standing rule is that no APK is launched without all five rows passing; the desk records a failing row as a friction observation and stamps the verdict chip with the date of the check.

The desk records three edge cases on this surface. The first edge case is a partner-routed install: where the operator routes the install through a third-party partner, the desk records the partner's verification record as the canonical record and not the operator's stated record. The second edge case is a region-specific install: where the operator's listing is unavailable in the reader's region, the desk records the unavailability as a friction observation and asks the reader to verify the unavailability against the operator's help center.

The third edge case is a third-party-mirror install: where a third-party mirror publishes the operator's installer, the desk records the mirror as a phishing risk and asks the reader to refuse the mirror. The desk's standing rule is that no install is recorded without the operator's verified domain; the desk records a third-party-mirror install as a friction observation and stamps the verdict chip with the date of the check.

For the per-case verification, the desk asks the reader to confirm the operator's verification record against the operator's status page and to refuse any operator whose verification record diverges from the desk's standing rule. The desk's standing rule is that no case is complete without the operator's verification record being confirmed against the operator's help center; the desk records a missing record as a friction observation and stamps the verdict chip with the date of the check.

The first reference note is the per-package-name check: the desk reads the operator's APK package name against the operator's published package name; a mismatched package name is refused at the install prompt and recorded as a friction observation. The second reference note is the per-version-name check: the desk reads the operator's APK version name against the operator's help center and refuses any APK whose version name does not match the operator's stated template.

The third reference note is the per-signature-fingerprint check: the desk reads the operator's APK signature against the operator's published fingerprint; a mismatched fingerprint is refused at the install prompt and recorded as a friction observation. The fourth reference note is the per-state confirm: the desk confirms the operator's state table against the operator's most recent state table; the operator is recorded as permitted in a state where the operator's state table lists the reader's state and the deposit rail list lists at least one RBI-permitted rail for the reader's state.

The fifth reference note is the per-permission-list check: the desk reads the operator's APK permission list against the operator's help center and refuses any APK whose permission list includes camera, microphone, contacts or location without an in-app justification; the desk records a permission-list mismatch as a friction observation and asks the reader to escalate the mismatch to the operator's grievance officer.
