Android Configuration Diagram Android uses a system called Digital Asset Links to verify that your app is allowed to interact with specific domains — for example, to log in users via passkeys or handle deep links. This is done via a small file called assetlinks.json hosted on your domain, under: https://yourdomain.com/.well-known/assetlinks.json This file declares a secure link between your app and your domain by including your app’s package name and signing key fingerprint. Once this link is verified, Android allows your app to handle URLs and securely exchange credentials.

Keystores and Signing

Every Android app must be digitally signed to run on a real device. This is done using a keystore, which securely stores your signing keys. The signature from your keystore is also what’s used in the assetlinks.json file — meaning that your keystore and your asset links setup are directly connected. When you generate a keystore (via Android Studio or command line), it produces a SHA-256 fingerprint that proves your app is authentic.
