Amber is a nostr event signer for Android. It allows users to keep their nsec segregated in a single, dedicated app. The goal of Amber is to have your smartphone act as a NIP-46 signing device without any need for servers or additional hardware. "Private keys should be exposed to as few systems as possible as each system adds to the attack surface," as the rationale of said NIP states. In addition to native apps, Amber aims to support all current nostr web applications without requiring any extensions or web servers.

## Amber 3.4.2-pre1

- Add a icon when using a proxy and check if the proxy is working

- Add more event translations

- Add a screen to send feedback on nostr

- Fix scrollbar position

- Fix requests not disappearing when accepting/rejecting

- Fix QR code scanner when using multiwindow mode

- Use datasource to fetch profile data

- Remove check for paid and auth in relays

- Remove listening for new connections option

- Make secret mandatory for bunker requests

## Verifying the release

In order to verify the release, you'll need to have `gpg` or `gpg2` installed on your system. Once you've obtained a copy (and hopefully verified that as well), you'll first need to import the keys that have signed this release if you haven't done so already:

``` bash

gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys 44F0AAEB77F373747E3D5444885822EED3A26A6D

```

Once you have his PGP key you can verify the release (assuming `manifest-v3.4.2-pre1.txt` and `manifest-v3.4.2-pre1.txt.sig` are in the current directory) with:

``` bash

gpg --verify manifest-v3.4.2-pre1.txt.sig manifest-v3.4.2-pre1.txt

```

You should see the following if the verification was successful:

``` bash

gpg: Signature made Fri 13 Sep 2024 08:06:52 AM -03

gpg: using RSA key 44F0AAEB77F373747E3D5444885822EED3A26A6D

gpg: Good signature from "greenart7c3 "

```

That will verify the signature on the main manifest page which ensures integrity and authenticity of the binaries you've downloaded locally. Next, depending on your operating system you should then re-calculate the sha256 sum of the binary, and compare that with the following hashes:

``` bash

cat manifest-v3.4.2-pre1.txt

```

One can use the `shasum -a 256 ` tool in order to re-compute the `sha256` hash of the target binary for your operating system. The produced hash should be compared with the hashes listed above and they should match exactly.
