Signature verification
This file's signing certificate matches the one we've trusted for this app since its first upload here - later versions have to keep matching it to be published automatically. It confirms the file wasn't swapped for a different, re-signed copy; it isn't a malware scan and isn't a claim that we have rights to redistribute the app. SHA-256: C8:76:8D:2C:EA:0C:4B:62:2E:41:9B:4B:47:15:98:19:46:82:1E:4E:BC:03:5F:B4:17:76:CA:D3:95:A7:F6:8E

FAQ
Is VLC for Android safe to install?
This version's signing certificate matches the one we've trusted for VLC for Android since its first upload here, which means it hasn't been swapped for a different, re-signed copy. That's a consistency check, not a malware scan or safety guarantee - see the Signature Verification section above for exactly what it does and doesn't confirm.
Will VLC for Android update automatically?
Only if it's later installed from the Play Store with a matching signature. Installing this APK directly doesn't connect it to Play Store auto-updates - you'd need to check back here (or the developer's own source) for newer versions.
What Android version do I need?
The minimum Android version for this file wasn't detected during extraction - check the APK Information section above for what was found.
Why does VLC for Android need these permissions?
Permissions are declared by the app's developer for features it may use - not everything listed is necessarily used every time you open the app. See the Permissions section above for what each one actually allows.
