Android beta: mark familiar LAN devices as trusted

This is a practical workflow note from PureHub, an open-source utility project - not a release announcement.

Start with the problem

A useful tool needs one obvious outcome, one honest limitation, and no forced account before the result.

What we learned

Completion is more useful than a page view. We measure a local result, then offer optional feedback or sharing afterwards.

PureHub v1.0.0‑beta.59 – Security‑first Android utilities

PureHub continues its mission of providing 26 free, no‑ads, privacy‑first, open‑source utility tools for Android. This beta release focuses on modernizing security and Wi‑Fi handling while keeping your existing data intact.

What’s New

Secure local storage – Authenticator, Password Vault, Lunar reminders, and router credentials now encrypted with AES‑256‑GCM keys managed by the Android Keystore.
Non‑destructive migration – One‑time migration from legacy encrypted preferences; old files stay available for rollback.
Improved Wi‑Fi API – Switched to NetworkCapabilities and LinkProperties; updated SSID handling for Android 13+ with fallback for older devices.
BiometricPrompt – Replaces the deprecated credential‑confirmation intent, supporting strong biometrics or device credentials.

Security Improvements

Concurrency protection around key creation and on‑device encryption tests.
Migration now retries after read failures instead of marking data as migrated.

Android Platform Updates

Deprecated Wi‑Fi connection APIs removed.
Compatibility path retained for devices below Android 13.

Verification

All unit tests, lint checks, and APK size checks passed.
15 physical‑device instrumentation tests succeeded, covering keystore encryption, migration, and navigation.
