Important announcement about the app

关于本应用的重要公告

My development environment was infected by unknown malicious software, as a result of which a few builds may have been affected. Once the issue was detected, I secured everything with a full disk wipe, restored a clean setup, and now all builds are scanned with VirusTotal. The F-Droid version will also be verified before release. 我的开发环境曾感染了不明恶意软件，导致部分构建版本可能受到了影响。在发现问题后，我通过全盘擦除并恢复了干净的系统环境，现在所有的构建版本都会经过 VirusTotal 的扫描。F-Droid 版本在发布前也将进行验证。

Public keys may have been compromised, which is why I am sharing this issue. You can download the new version and the new public key below, and instructions for restoring backups are provided. No extra actions are required since the app uses one-time connection codes. These codes have very limited permissions (for example, they cannot change your password). Still, you can revoke them if you want full peace of mind. 由于公钥可能已被泄露，因此我在此告知大家。您可以在下方下载新版本和新的公钥，并查看恢复备份的说明。由于应用使用的是一次性连接代码，因此无需进行额外操作。这些代码的权限非常有限（例如，它们无法更改您的密码）。不过，如果您想彻底放心，也可以撤销这些权限。

How to revoke access: Open myaccount.google.com/security Find “Your connections to third-party apps & services” Tap “See all connection” and locate YouTube TV or Google Drive Select the app → “Remove access” Please keep built-in security features enabled to stay protected. 如何撤销访问权限：打开 myaccount.google.com/security，找到“您与第三方应用和服务的连接”，点击“查看所有连接”，找到 YouTube TV 或 Google Drive，选择该应用并点击“移除访问权限”。请保持内置安全功能开启以确保安全。
