At IzzyOnDroid, we provide Reproducible Builds (RBs) for Android apps. In this talk, I want to outline:

  • what Reproducible Builds are and what are some of their advantages
  • how we approach Reproducible Builds in combination with our Android App Repo
  • some of the challenges of Reproducible Builds for Android apps
  • the most frequent sources/causes of failed RBs we encounter regularly (and how to address them)
  • things Android App Developers should be aware of / take care for to give their apps the best chances to succeed with RBs

At the end of the talk, there should hopefully be some time for further questions (Q&A).
