 > I am not so sure, though, that not signing it is not a problem. How are
 we testing our final result on Android devices without *any* signing? (We
 don't have that problem on desktop platforms as signing requirements can
 get disabled if they are existing at all)

 Ah. Good point. The unsigned-unaligned apk should be (as the name implies)
 not signed. But when building Fennec with Mozilla's build system, they
 produce an additional apk that is signed with a
 [https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/app-signing#debug-mode debug
 signing key]. It looks like that happens in [https://gitweb.torproject.org
 /tor-browser.git/tree/config/android-common.mk?h=tor-
 browser-60.3.0esr-8.5-1#n11 config/android-common.mk], calling
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-
 browser.git/tree/mobile/android/debug_sign_tool.py?h=tor-
 browser-60.3.0esr-8.5-1#n11 mobile/android/debug_sign_tool.py]. I think we
 can use this, too.
